Riders staged at Wylie East High School to place flags where the race was to start and finish as well as various points along the route.   Prior to the race, the Ride Captain addressed the runners, which were primarily members of the AF ROTC, thanking them for their commitment to the program and inviting them to stand a North Texas PGR flag line in the future.  The runners were staged and sent off at 10:00 to coordinate with the start of similar races from coast to coast.  Riders remained to cheer on race participants as they crossed the finish line.  Flags were then returned to the flag support vehicle and riders were debriefed and dismissed.
