5K #10 February 24: Virginia, Williamsburg

State #10

34th Annual Sentara Colonial Half Marathon & 5K at William and Mary College in Williamsburg, Virginia



A wonderful pre-run dinner at Doraldo Ristorante Italiano in Williamsburg.


53rd overall out of 277, but 1st place in my 5K age group division -- 25 minutes and 25 seconds



The event began with the runners walking about 3/4 of a mile behind a fife and drum trio from the registration site to the starting line.


It is a beautiful day - sunny, about 50 degrees, and just a little wind


After the singing of the National Anthem, the starting guns were shot by these three musketeers.



and we are off...


The 5K route was primarily around the William and Mary Campus


And the finish line was at the registration site, Kaplan Arena.



This event was extremely well organized and tons of fun, and we want to return to Williamsburg for a much longer visit.



Runs Completed (blue). Scheduled for March and April (red).
