This is one of my favorite runs. Last year I was invited by Liz to run under a bid that belonged to someone in her family who did not want to run. Since I enjoy being with Liz's family and I like running down the parade route I decided to enter Jan and I this year. The runners are treated so well and it puts us downtown Provo and then we can enjoy the Freedom Festival afterwards. Jan and I easily made our way to a parking lot near the finish line at Kiwanis Park.After we parked we made our way to the restrooms and then began our walk several blocks to the start line. We arrived about 10 minutes before the start of the race. Liz and family were running a little late (pun intended) so since Jan and I were walking the course we knew they would catch up to us soon.
It wasn't long before we saw Jason run by and then we were joined by Liz's mom and sister who wanted to walk with us. Liz and her niece ran on ahead. We had a very enjoyable walk with Marilyn and her daughter, with a short run into the finish line for our "photo finish". Jan got out his American flag to run in with. It was really nice. We ate a few recovery snacks and then headed for the Freedom Festival booths to walk around and do a little shopping. This is a must do race now for us every year.
