Whitby International Marathon Photo Race Report

Whitby International Marathon Photo Race Report

- sunny, cool breeze, low 20s C
- scenic route; different route than last time I ran it
- $35 registration for full marathon
- gels on site
- excellent volunteers - fluid stations, medic people on bikes
- bib pick up on morning of race - this saves a trip!
- concerns: cotton t-shirt, same finisher medal each year
- overall: pleased with race - will sign up again for next year

- Happy to complete full/ultra marathon #37.

Start line! Approximately 65 registered for the full marathon - a small race.

1 K done. Scenic route! It's 10.5 K then turnaround. Then repeat - for the 42.2 K

Downhill and then turnaround.

Another view of Lake Ontario

Turnaround at 10.5 K



Excellent volunteers at the fluid stations! Some stations only had water - but there was plenty.






























Finish line!

Bud celebrating the accomplishment!



Surprised the finisher's medal is the same each year! Now own 3 of the same medals!

A cotton t-shirt! This is a first.

YTD = 594.9 K

Don't know what my finisher's time is yet - approximately 5H 30 M. A volunteer had a "pan" to clock the finisher's time and another volunteer took out the electronic timer on the back of the bib.
