This is the 39th year for this Memorial Day event, and this year over 55,000 participants "wheeled," ran, jogged, or walked the course. We cheered on those hard-core athletes who were aiming for a specific time and cheered as well for those whose goal was--yes, to finish--but most of all to be as creative as possible with their race attire.
Sitting on the curb, watching the racers run or walk by, I'll have to admit it's the costumes that catch the camera's eye!
Here is a photo collage of those who were proud to show their red, white, and blue Memorial Day spirit:
And some of the more unusual costumes. There were many, many more--but I was not always quick enough to catch them as they went by.
The racers love it when you cheer them on. " High Fives" are common.
Some of the racers run hot . . .
And some run cool . . .
This costume has my vote for the "Most Appropriate" BoulderBoulder attire:
And this little fellow had the best idea: He could run and sit at the same time:
Everyone waits for the "elite" runners to pass by. They are an international bunch: USA, Ethiopia, Kenya, Eritrea, Mexico, Cuba . . .
We were lucky to have curb-side seats , and my daughter, Donna, turned the camera on us for one final shot:
