There were some 13,000 runners this year and I managed to jostle my way through to a pace 11:03 which saw me finish the 4.7 mi course in 51:55.
Highlights of the race were the hotblooded lass in the “turkey bikini” looking to have her tail chased, Saftey Man ironically colliding with spectators, and the octogenarian man on the side of the road sawing out Poker Face on his accordion.



I will definitely be back next year.

Disappointed not to see a picture of that turkey bikini. I guess you were distracted by that running. If she’s back next year too I hope you’ll pay more attention to what really matters.
You and me both. my brain just wouldn’t make the connection that a turkey bikini was a Kodak moment.
