The County Crawlers improved in the team standings from 29th in 2007 to 6th overall this year!!!

During the 2008 Daily American Fitness Challenge, 10k 5k competition, the County of Somerset was represented by thirty-seven (37) individuals who answered the call. As a result, drastic improvements were made from the 2007 team which included ten (10) team members and only six (6) employees.

We wanted to send out a thank-you to these 37 people, which included twenty-six (26) employees, plus several family members/friends of those employees.
