This year's Thunder Road Marathon and 1/2 Marathon was another great event put on by the folks at Run for Your Life. As tradition goes, the pre-race dinner on Friday night was once again hosted at the home of Michael and Betsy Furr. Many thanks to them for opening up their home to the local runners. There was also an additional late night "shoe run" added this year...another fun trip in itself!
Race day conditions were textbook this year. The weather couldn't have been better with starting temps in the lower 40's under a spotless blue sky. The weather warmed quickly during the race with finish line temps near 60.
Congrats to all of the locals who participated. Several local runners set PRs and there were quite a few first time half-marathoners. Hats off to them for a job well done. Special thanks to Joe Korzelius to chauffeured many of us around the city of Charlotte.
After the events, a post-race meal was in ordered and Fuel Pizza didn't disappoint. A great all around day of running for the Stanly County harriers. Several pics can be found at www.vacanddash.com.
