Congratulations to our HYP volunteers who won BEST aid station at the Prickly Pear Don’t Fence Me In trail run 🥳🎉👏

The volunteers chose to do a Hawaiian theme and had music and cowbells to cheer on the runners. Runners loved the group’s spirit and candy selection, which helped energize them through the rest of the run.
