The weather was great for the 2011 Susan G. Komen NC Foothills Race for the Cure® on Saturday, October 15 at Lenoir Rhyne University. Approximately 2,000 were in attendance, of which over 450, were timed participants. We apologize for the technical problems. The computer crash that caused the problem was the affiliate's computer. Fortunately, thanks to the fast thinking of Lee Timing Company and a few key Race volunteers, the results are now posted.
