Series promotes prostate cancer awareness; returns to the District on October 30
The 2004 PACE Race Series continued on Sunday in Seattle, WA and Sacramento, CA as a combined 500 participants ran and walked in the inaugural races.

"We're very happy with how both races went off," said Mandy Deas, National PACE Race Director. "We expect the numbers to double or triple for next year as both events begin to lay the groundwork for a beneficial future."

"The race was extremely successful from an operations standpoint as everything went off without a problem," said Brian Oster, Seattle PACE Race Director. "The entire staff is already looking to next year and is excited about the possibilities this race holds."

Top finishers in the Seattle PACE Race were Leif Kohler in 16:20 and Emily Showman in 18:54. For complete results of the 2004 Seattle PACE Race visit www.promotionevents.com.
