First Official Marathon Event

It was a beautiful March Sunday morning, there were not a single cloud in the sky. People were excited to be there and it showed in their excitement before, during and after the race. A saying was going around that day; The LA Marathon is a family race and it was evidents throughout the whole marathon. People of different culture, abilities, and age came out to participate and to cheer. Although the location itself was a poor choice for a race of that size, overall it was still a great day for those that participated and the cheering crowds. A lot of first time marathon participate caught the running fever and are looking forward to their next marathon event. Below are some pictures of the day's event.
