Nice, Olaf.

I'd like to add that I used to collect names and cell phone numbers of run attendees when they signed in before leaving the meeting point. (Handy if you lose anyone on the way). Then I would call or txt people a couple of weeks before the next run to ask if they wanted to come. A personal one-on-one gets a great response, can't beat it. Takes time but if you really want to have a blast and get a buzz from all those smiling faces (and make some new friends) it's well worth the effort.
