Beyond your professional talents, it was your personal passion about this race that inspired all of us to work just a little harder, stretch just a little further. You made it happen-what a great race!

I know your people worked hard to make [Derby Day 5K] a success and the numbers bear that out, we had our biggest turnout in the race's 21-year existence. Congratulations on being named one of the best 5ks in the country; that accolade is a real bonus.

I am writing you from my office in New York City. I ran the Surf City Marathon last Sunday finishing with a time of 3:46:02. This was my 12th marathon in the last 14 months running in places throughout the U.S and Mexico. The purpose of my writing you today is to acknowledge your volunteers as really standing out as some of the best I’ve encountered anywhere. They were so very supportive cheering loudly everywhere along the course. You could tell they were all really into what they were doing and wanted to do a good job. I found them to be such a positive reflection of your community. I am really focused when running a marathon because I am always out to perform at my highest level. The deeper into the race the more of a challenge it usually becomes and I am not so much expressing gratitude when I am in that process. So, I really wanted to reach out to you and let you know how impressed I was those wonderful volunteers from Huntington Beach, CA and send them a very big thank you! It was a pleasure visiting your city.

Words cannot express how impressed I was with the Orange County Race for the Cure. I have been in the sports marketing business for over ten years and have attended spectacular events from Super Bowls to Wimbledon, but nothing compares to the organization of this event.

I would like to give a huge thank you to Kathy Kinane and her amazing crew at Kinane Events for managing the Surf City USA Marathon on a world class level for many years. During her involvement with the marathon, Kathy brought over 100 vendors who collaborate to produce what has been recognized as 13th largest Half Marathon in the Country by Running USA. The Marathon has sold out at 21,000 runners for the past 5 years. Our staff at the City of Huntington Beach has enjoyed working with Kathy and her team of individuals who are creative, effective and solution oriented. I am looking forward to the next opportunity to work with Kinane Events.

By all accounts we feel as though this year's Four Seasons Resort Aviara's Terry Fox Run was a huge success. As we discussed on race day, the participants all remarked on the organization, set up and, of course, the beauty of the course. Kinane Events truly made a difference in the success of the event, and we appreciate everything you and your team did to make it go smoothly. Kathy, thanks again for your energy, leadership and guidance.

I’d like to take this opportunity to thank you and your team for nine years of extraordinary management of the Surf City USA Marathon. You have helped us realize our vision of bringing a world class running event to Huntington Beach. Watching the event grow from 8,500 to 20,000 in three years and then maintain it’s sold out status for 6 years was fantastic. Your teams passion and commitment to every detail has made this event a cherished memory for all. We have received hundreds of positive comments over the years, stating how much our participants, volunteers and vendors love this event and working with your team. It has been a pleasure.
