October 10 - Towpath Marathon

Marathon Security
Starting Weather: Clear 52°
Ending Weather: Mostly Sunny 61°
Distance Covered:  .85 miles
Time: 7:38 AM - 9:46 AM
This morning we got up early so we could photograph the Towpath Marathon.  The weather was being very cooperative, mild and dry.  We drove to Boston and Kay let me out just south of Boston Mills.  I was able to watch the runners coming down the hill from the starting line and followed them south to an area just north of the I-271 Bridge.  Kay stationed herself on the road above the I-80 Bridge to photograph the runners as they passed underneath the bridge.  it was very inspirational to watch all these people who had trained so hard for this event.  I found out that there is an event for walkers, so maybe next year.  We stopped at Hunt Farm, watched them run across the boardwalk at the Beaver Marsh, and watched them cross Ira Road.  Beautiful day, great event!
