Sunset Run

As the sun set on Saturday, 400 runners ranging in age from 10 to 72, participated in the Southern Arizona Roadrunners Sabino Canyon Sunset Run. The course followed the paved road, along the stream, over nine bridges up to the end the road, and back down again for a total of 7.4 miles. Here are a few of the pictures I took near mile one:




Meanwhile, Chris was taking movies by a bridge. These are some still frames from the videos. Our son, Kevin, is in the first snapshot below:




Robert Seaman - First man to finish
Time 40:45 Pace 5:30/Mile

Paula Morrison- First woman to finish
Time 48:15 Pace 6:31/Mile

For sure, I enjoyed watching the athletes as much as they enjoyed running in the canyon. I am grateful for recreation areas such as Sabino Canyon that provide beautiful settings for people to exercise, enjoy fresh air and sunshine and appreciate nature.
