We're thrilled that we collected our 100th registration today. Charles Evans, 82, of Supply has accepted the Walk / Run and the Bike & Hike Personal Endurance Challenges, and has begun training. By the same time last year, only 13 people had registered, and we're thrilled by not only the apparent growth of Take the Lake, but by participants' strategy of registering early and, we 

$140,000. The first 260 people who register for Take the Lake by July 15 will each have one chance to win. 

Here are some breakdowns of the first 103 registrants, as of Saturday afternoon:

- Women are showing up the men, with 58 registrations over the males' 45. 
- We have 60 people inside Columbus County registered and 45 who live elsewhere. 
- As for age, it was pretty much split at 40, with the same number of people under age 39 as 40 and over.
- Most people signed up to do the Walk / Run, with 82 registrations, and the Bike & Hike is second, with 64. We have 29 paddlers signed up so far, and nine swimmers. 
- We have 11 people who have volunteered to promote Take the Lake outside Columbus County, seven who have offered (through registrations) to help organize the event, and nine who want to help out Labor Day weekend. 

It's not too late for you to volunteer! Just check out our volunteer page and pick something you will enjoy. And, of course, it's not too late to register! Just complete our simple online Registration Form.
