Diane and Will
Met July 2005 at a Pogo Event
Married October 27, 2007
When telling the story of how we met, Will always jokes to his friends that he went on a treasure hunt and found his treasure. All gagging aside, we really do owe our marriage to Mary and Pogo Events. In July of 2005, Pogo was just getting started and I was new to NYC. I had met Mary earlier, and she told me that she would be running a photography race around the city. I thought it would be a great opportunity to make some friends, so I signed up. A few minutes after I arrived at Chelsea Piers, a cute Englishman came along. We were on different teams, and didn't talk much until drinks after the race. I thought he was rather charming, but we didn't exchange information. A few months later, I was helping Mary run The Amazing New York Race when that same cute Englishman showed up. We started chatting before the race, and immediately found each other at the after-drinks. We ended up going out to dinner with a few other people, and then Will and I split off and walked around the city for hours, just talking. Two years later, we were married. We now live in England, and miss Pogo's races so much that Will has actually organized one or two races over here for our friends! I would highly recommend Pogo Events for anyone looking to run around the ciy, have a few laughs and meet some amazing people. - Diane
