Another Super Cooper race has come and gone. We had a very successful race this year with over 400 total participants between the 1-Mile and the 5K run combined. The skies were clear, the sun was out and the wind was blowing...straight into the runners as they forced themselves across the finish line.

Photos from the race can be found here thanks to Bobby Lecompte, on FaceBook here and on Smug Mug here** thanks to Phoebe Fontenot (**available for viewing on Monday April 4th).

Congrats to our top three overall Male and Female winners:

Alex Hebert 17:47    Christina Hubbell 20:43
Kent Thibodaux 17:49     Michelle Templet 22:43
Evan Chauvin 18:45    Brandy Bower 23:07

Ashley and I always love hearing from you all. Please feel free to drop us an email at info@cooperlifefund.org with comments or suggestions on what we're doing right, and what we might do to make the race even better.
Everyone seemed to have a wonderful time once again this year. There are still a few bills yet to pay, but this year's proceeds appear to be right around the $11,000 mark, bringing our 5 year HOUMA total to $66,500! We are always proud to say that 100% of this money goes directly to helping families who's newborn is admitted into the TGMC Neonatal ICU.

We couldn't do it without our great racers, our wonderful volunteers and our very generous sponsors. Thanks goes out to all of you. Below is a listing of our volunteers who help to make the Super Cooper Heart Run a very worthwhile event. 

Interested in other 5K races...here are a couple of races close to our heart:

Running of the Bulls (Lafayette - April 2)
One Small Step 5k (Houma - May 14)
We look forward to seeing you again next year in Houma...or possibly even this November at our Lafayette race! Stay tuned for more info on the Fall race.
