The 2008 Frederick Marathon

I volunteered at the Frederick Marathon today. A friend of mine and I were at mile 8 with a very nice group of Boy Scouts (sorry that I forgot their troop number) handing out loads of water to the brave souls who took to the streets for the run.

I took some pictures of our station. I wish I got more of the runners, but here is a great shot of them. Also the FNP has a ton of coverage and info on the event.

I was amazed at the scope of the event, at least from what I could see from my limited vantage point. Anyone out there run the race? What did you think? I would love to here from some of the runners, volunteers, or staff.

    First of all many thanks for coming out on race morning to help with the 8 mile water stop. Big events like the Frederick Running Festival just can’t take place without hundreds of volunteers and I always try to take time to thank as many as I can when I’m running by.

    The event was great, despite some people having traffic problems before the race and we were really lucky to have such great weather.

    Here’s my marathon race report:

    Thanks again for your help!

    PS Enjoyed the photos too.

    Thanks for sharing Steve! I had also heard about the traffic problems to. Hopefully that will get smoothed out next year.
