Dear Editor,

In my initial thank you letter, I inadvertently omitted a vital acknowledgment that deserves deep appreciation.
I want to extend heartfelt thanks to Jerry Gray and the San Juan Solstice (SJS) Board for their continued generosity and support of the Hardrock 100 and the Sherman Aid Station. Each year, the San Juan Solstice allows us to utilize many of their supplies and kindly donates leftover aid station food and fuel—contributions that make a significant difference in our ability to care for runners and volunteers.
In particular, I want to recognize Jerry Gray, who has served as the San Juan Solstice Race Director for the past 23 years. His dedication to the ultrarunning community is matched only by his deep-rooted commitment to public service. Jerry served as Lake City’s EMS Director from 1988 to 2018, a remarkable 30-year tenure. His impact on our community—through both emergency services and the ultrarunning world—has been profound I personally, along with so many others, have benefited from Jerry’s leadership, generosity, and unwavering service.
Thank you, Jerry, for your enduring contributions to our events and our community.

With deep gratitude,
Martha Reinhardt
Lake City
