“Well...how can I thank you enough for the amazing Friday night run and post run social! WOW! It has been way too long for all of us and thanks to you and your AWESOME team’s perseverance and drive we all reap the benefits. Your events never disappoint and gosh, how we’ve missed this sense of community. Thank you and your team for continuing your positive vibes journey - we’re happy to participate. And thanks to Federal Twist Winery for the great venue.
Friday night could not have been more perfect! -JBG

“I just wanted to share that since moving here your runs have been an absolute joy and inspiration. Your mantra of RUNNING HAPPY and your mandate of GOOD VIBES are so genuine — its so wonderful to be exposed to people who genuinely seem intent on making the world more positive".
Your events are always very well organized - but especially during the current Covid situation. It’s your endless enthusiasm and earnest positive messaging that set you and your events above many, many others I’ve encountered throughout the years. Thanks for inspiring me (and members of my family) to be healthy and be positive. You rock!” -RJQ

“I ran my first Scoogie Event on thanksgiving and it was one of the most organized events I have been to. Everything from registration to the day of event was well organized, relaxed and “friendly”. Also- post race refreshments and atmosphere were awesome!” -CT

“My husband and I love your events for a variety of reasons – they are well run and staffed, some start in the afternoon on Saturdays (a HUGE draw as we aren’t morning people), and they are really supportive, fun events.
As a back of the pack runner (I think last shamrock run I was third from the last to finish) I never feel like the party is over when I cross the finish line. Also love that you always have a photographer- this is also a huge bonus.” -CL

“Ran my first Scoogie Event on thanksgiving and it was one of the most organized events I have been to."
“Everything from registration to the day of event was well organized, relaxed and “friendly”. Also- post race refreshments and atmosphere were awesome!
One thing that will keep me coming back is being able to run with my stroller! It is hard to find events stroller (and dog) friendly and would absolutely sign up for a race given that I can run with my “running buddies.”
“My husband and I love your events for a variety of reasons – they are well run and staffed, some start in the afternoon on Saturdays (a HUGE draw as we aren’t morning people and are active in church on Sunday mornings), and they are really supportive, fun events.

"Your races are always a friendly atmosphere!”
“I’ve run the Halloween race several times and must say that I’m impressed by the clear directions, The reminders for the slower runners line up towards the back (pet peeve when they start in the front! !😝), the volunteers on the course yelling for you like you’re the fastest runner they’ve ever seen, and the prizes are off the charts! I enjoy that even if you’re not the fastest runner and don’t get an award, you might win a raffle (ps, love the Life is Good store!)
I made a mental note last Fall to also bring my niece to one of your events for the kids fun run. I was really impressed with how encouraging the race director was with the kids and explained how it’s not always about winning. To try your best. In other races, it’s just line the kids up and go. I do like having the chance to to see the kids race before my race because I’m too tired afterwards to pay attention. I loved having the chance to cheer them on and get rid of my pre race nerves!”
“Even our volunteers are grateful for what we’re doing”
Hi Scoogie,
I hope this email finds you and your family safe and healthy.
I can’t believe I have been volunteering since 2017 as you probably haven’t realized. I can’t even believe how long it has been! I am beyond grateful for the opportunities that you and Scoogie Events have given me throughout the years. I appreciate taking on more roles and responsibility in a few events as well as for outside of races. I am glad I was given the opportunity to go to stores in English Village because I developed more speaking skills. On top of that, delivering flyers to homes was a great chance for me to get some exercise as well as see awesome house design and structures. I am also glad that I was able to outreach to other volunteers about this amazing and worthwhile volunteer opportunity to my high school. Hopefully others will stick with volunteering for these events.
It was an abrupt ending to my volunteer efforts this year as some are postponed to later dates and me heading off to college out of state. I will miss seeing your enthusiastic team and all the enthusiastic runners and volunteers.
I have gratefully collected a lot of merch such as the long sleeve tees and mugs. I have enjoyed repping the long sleeve tees at my school and I got a lot of compliments and comments about them and it also gave me an opportunity to wear something that I’m proud of. I’m proud of how amazing and family-oriented the races are. I know that there are a lot of us who spread positivity throughout the race events and put on a huge smile. This is what I love about these races. These races feel so close to home, literally and figuratively. I loved waking up early and heading out to these races with my friends that are sometimes in a walking distance. I love how if there was a problem, we would try and solve it together as a team. Your team of volunteers and crew members are so tightly connected and it is a pleasure seeing that beautiful connection. You have created a beautiful community that brings people together. I want to point out the well written Covid-19 post on the website. It was touching. One of the things that stuck with me is “Whether you realize it at this time or not, your positivity and contagious smiles help the ones that may be suffering and need it most. Never underestimate the power of positivity. And remember, smiles breed smiles” That is a great quote!
This is not my last outreach to you and hopefully, at the end of the tunnel as you mentioned, we would be able to have these races back up again. There has never been any intentions on volunteering, no key club hours, NHS, or any school documented volunteer hours. I did it because I love coming to these events and it is an internal incentive. My parents initially always asked me why I’m adding on more hours to my somewhat busy school schedule and later on, I think they realized how much I loved volunteering with and without friends. I know I can sometimes be all over the place, I'm still learning! Thank you for your patience.
I appreciate your time in reading this lengthy email, and make sure you say hi to Marci for me!

"Keep up the great work--runs are well organized, fun, and festive!"
“My 13-year-old daughter loves your events, and I have enjoyed participating in them with her (as a non-runner). The atmosphere is always festive, and she especially likes visiting the various vendors prior the races.
We’ve had fun at the pumpkin run and the spring run at Joseph Ambler Inn. Other runs have conflicted with various other commitments. Our one suggestion is to keep long-sleeved shirts for participants for the pumpkin run!”
“My family and I are excited. Last year was the first year we participated in your events, did 3 of them, and I was impressed with how smoothly they were run!
Thanks again for organizing these races.. it’s great for our community!”
We LOVE getting emails like these! Especially during the tough times that COVID-19 caused in 2020.
Hey Scoogie-
I saw some emails come out about events…that’s awesome!
I’m sure it’s good to see the light at the end of this long tunnel.
You can count on me and my family to sign up for these events whether we run them or not.
These are the types of events that make our community so great.
Keep grinding, maybe we can meet up some time when we get clear of this.

Hi Scoogie,
Thanks for the update on all the summer and fall races. My children and I look forward to racing again, once it’s safe! In the meantime we fully support you and Scoogie Events!
Your positivity is infectious.
Regardless, I hope you and your family are safe and healthy, and we look forward to your races and events. Virtual or live—Race On!

Dear Scoogie,
My son LOVES the kids run and wants to sign up for EVERY Scoogie Event! .
You guys are awesome at what you do!
My son struggles with group activities and perseverance when it comes to doing something he finds hard and the kid's run really give him a sense of accomplishment and help build his self-esteem.
So a BIG THANK YOU!

"Your enthusiasm is contagious, and it is a delight to see so many people finish races."
“Thank you VERY MUCH for investing so much time, effort, and creativity into the races. I enjoy them immensely. The races are family friendly, and there is something for everyone - regardless of their skill/talent level. Your enthusiasm is contagious, and it is a delight to see so many people finish races - accomplishing the most important goal.
I am a very late bloomer. While I ran track in high school, I never won a race; I never came in second, and only once did I come in third. I think I ran six of your races in 2016 (and two in 2015) and was able to place in the top three for my age group fairly regularly. This has done wonders for my self confidence - not just in terms of running but in life in general. THANK YOU.
Please keep up the fantastic work.”
