ELKHART INDIANA (5/29/04 - 5/31/04) -- Basketball, swimming, running, walking, cycling, canoeing, kayaking, in-line skating, hand cycles, wheelchairs, tennis, rowing, beach volleyball, dancing, competing, walking the dog, smiling, laughing, sweating, exerting, eating, sleeping and loving every minute of it are the elements that make up the 33 events of the Great Race. It is certainly one of the most interesting three day events we have in our country. The Great Race XXIV is produced and sponsored by the citizens and corporate world that make up Amish Country in Indiana. Amish Country in Indiana, includes the communities of Goshen, Middlebury, Elkhart and Nappanee and lots of horses and carriages.

There are so many competitors, volunteers, sponsors and competitive site locations, that the best we can do here is to show you a few pictures and then direct you to all the action on video at http://michiganrunner.tv/ 2004greatrace/index.html. Once you get to that page, you will be seeing, hearing and experiencing the 24th running of the Great Race XXIV. Check out all the results and the info for next year at http:// thegreatrace.net. MR
