Thunder Road Marathon






There was quite a group of Barrie RoadRunner that travelled to Charlotte NC to take part in the Thunder Road Marathon on Dec 11.
Charlotte is a beautiful city with lots to see like the Nascar Hall of Fame and lots of nightlife, and is very clean and friendly.The group, well there was Dave Hope,Catherine Harding,Bill Lovett, and Keith Lascelles running the half, while Jim Tuttle, Erin Wilson-Barrie,Lisa Thurlow, Tracy MacLean, Oliver Owens, Roger Ison, and myself running the Full. The course was somewhat hilly from start to finish, including a bit of an uphill finish. The course was incredibly scenic with nice homes and very friendly course support. It was a cold start but great conditions for the event, no rain and how often do you get to wear shorts in December!
The medals were great, a couple of free beers as well at the finish.Everyone had a good race including Lisa and myself who had PB's
Congrats to all, it was a fun weekend despite some travel delays due to weather getting home!
