100th Thanksgiving Day Race
November 26th, 2009 by jim Posted in Fall, Thanksgiving, running | 1 Comment »Derrick and I went down to the city this morning to participate in the 100th running of the Cincinnati Thanksgiving Day Race. I’ve run in this race 9 of the last 10 years, and being the 100th, I was really excited to be a part of it again. So were more than 17,000 other runners. It was definitely the biggest field I’ve ever seen at this race. The weather couldn’t have been better – it was upper 30′s and sunny at the start, not too bad for a late November day!
So, being a kind of historic run, I decided to lug my old camera with me and try to take some pictures along the way. I am not in very good running shape right now, so I figured why not make the most of the day and just enjoy it. It’s not very often that the streets of Cincinnati are closed off and you can just stop and take photos of the city and riverfront.
