First off, a big thanks to all the Harriers, families and the rest of the enthusiastic runners, triathletes and fans that came out to support a great track race tonight with exceptional athletes preparing for the Berlin Marathon, the Chicago Marathon and the Great North Half Marathon in Sheffield, England. I estimated about 100 spectators cheering on the athletes for 25 laps. Secondly, congrats to Jim Finlayson for organizing and directing the event and to the 215 North crew for filming, promoting and supporting a very worthwhile cause. Finally, thanks to Walter Cantwell and Chris Kelsall for assisting with the timing and Don Peterson for recording the laps for each runner. Updated with Race Photos and Video Now!
