What a great day to run in Raleigh. The weather was perfect, the new course highlighted many sites in Southwest Raleigh, and the support was awesome.
Thousands of runners and spectators gathered for the City of Oaks marathon, Rex Healthcare half marathon, and the Old Reliable 10k. Hillsborough Street was alive with race spirit and hospitality.
See some of our pictures and some additional media coverage:
PS – I got a personal best on this course, finishing the half marathon in 1 hour and 42 minutes. Congrats to all the runners!
