Fdip248: The 5th Annual World Wide Festival of Races

They ran all over the world.\xa0 They ran in warm places, cold places, rainy places, dry places.\xa0 They ran alone and with friends; they ran fast and slow, in an organized race and in their back yards.\xa0 They ran with the sound of each other in their ears and the spirit of each other in their hearts.\xa0 \n\xa0\nThe World Wide Festival of Races is a celebration, but this social networking movement does not end on race weekend.\xa0 We run together every day, all around the surface of a little blue bubble in space: and we do so with the knowledge and understanding that we do not run alone: not as long as someone, somewhere is lacing up their shoes to head out on their local roads.\xa0 We are a global community of fellow runners; and together we run.\n\xa0\nLinks:\n\xa0\n\nhttps://sites.google.com/site/wwfor2010 \nhttp://worldwidefestivalofraces.com\nhttp://crawllyflowersgarden.blogspot.com \n\xa0\nThe song \u201cThe World is Upside Down\u201d was by A Band Called Quinn at http://www.myspace.com/abandcalledquinn
