Heroes one and all
This morning here in Winnipeg. 1,500 plus runners and 100′s of volunteers turn out for the Annual Winnipeg Police Service Half Marathon for the benefit of “Cops for Cancer”. But this year was a little unusual. At 7:30 am, and the race started at 8:00 am Mother Nature greeted everyone with sub zero temperature and near blizzard conditions. The cold, snow and blowing snow did nothing to dampen the spirit of all that were there. Everyone was upbeat and the event turned out to be very successful.
As you can see be the photos I have attached some of the runners had no problem in conveying how they felt today. The gang from Urban Tactical who were manning two “refreshment” stations said that they went through normal amounts of water and Gatorade.
Not to worry, before the crew moved to the next set up at the Finish Line. All the cups and garbage was disposed of.

Big thanks to Urban Tactical for their support of this wonderful “spring” event… and oh what a morning it was… I watched the brave and very cheerful runners coming and going at the Moray Bridge…
