The 2018 Harvest Marathon Relay was a huge success.  Thank you to all the participants, volunteers and sponsors who helped make this a great event. Congratulations to our Overall Champion, Shell - We Take This Too Serious who finished with a time of 2:24 (that is a 5:28 mile for anyone who is counting).  The large team winner was Sharpstown Running Club with a time of 2:27.  The small team winner was the Houston Food Bank with a time of 2:58. Special recognition needs to go out to the two teams from Dow Chemical who finished in 2:28 and 2:43.   We had two winners for Best Team Spirit this year - Enterprise Jet Fuel and We are the Good Kind of Fat (the avocado team!).  Congrats to both teams for showing your spirit!
