This was all about fun and running with my friend. The race was huge. I'm not really sure how we were corraled. We were corral 6 and were still passing a lot of walkers well past the 1.5 mile mark.

Event comments:

This was the 38th year for this race weekend, and it is run very well.
I am not sure how the corrals were set up for this race...lots of walkers ahead of runners. With over 7,0000 registered it was a bit crowded so trying to get around the walkers was tight at times. But it was all in fun. Had I been running for time I think I would have been a little uptight.

It was a beautiful day. Usually it's a lot cooler this time of year, so the sun & temp was an added bonus.
