Horse Capital Marathon/Half-Marathon re-cap

 

ShewEEE, 4am Early:Thirty start for today's Horse Capital Marathon/HalfMarathon.

800+ have signed up ready to try and earn one of these amazing medals,

And those really speedy Male & Females in the top 3 finishing earned one of these Hand Crafted awards...

Top 3 age group winners received one of these fancy water bottles....

As always DJ James brought the music & motivation for everyone!

Meet 'Carl' he was such a well behaved Paw'stectator,

MY girls Lori on the left and Bobbie [the Kid] on the right,

As I mentioned we had 800+ signed up multiple states & 3 countries, 

Special guest runner was Chris Koch from Canada...And founder of If I Can

A TRUE Inspiration!

She was so patient waiting for her runner Mama,

With So Many runners,

Some 800+ and the fact I took 2000+ photos,

It was hard to choose just a few favorites....

Thanks to my PicMonkey program here are some of my favorites.

Clothes dropped at the first water station brought back for runners to re-claim.

It was a Looong Day, 6 1/2 hrs of photography=another successful Horse Capital is in the Books!

Next year is 10th anniversary for the race and hopefully it will be even Bigger & Better!

Of Course I have to finish this post with My Girlies!!

Lori won 3rd in her age group, the 'Kid' won 2nd in hers.

WAY TO GO LADIES !!
