The weekend after the Race for Hope, we participated in another charity run. Considering that it was a 50k, through the woods, up and down mountain and stream, for this one we volunteered.
136 runners starting the race, almost all finished.
We helped man an aid station 19 miles into the course, set up where the running trail crosses the road. The runners were remarkable athletes. The first two showed up at our aid station 2 hours and 20 minutes after starting. Both passed us by without stopping, just waved and said a few cheerful words as they passed. The lead runner was the fittest person I have ever seen. He had hardly broken a sweat, was breathing normally, and basically looked like he was just jogging around the neighborhood.
