Road Runners invade the Denver Marathon!

The 2008 Denver Marathon was held on a GLORIOUS fall day that was nice enough to make everyone forget the torrential downpour of the 2007 race. Over 60 Road Runner members raced in either the marathon or half-marathon, and several members were speedy enough to place in age group categories. Even better, RMRR members and friends staffed the all-important aid station between miles 22 and 23, providing water, Gatorade, and especially much needed encouragement to the runners.  From the runners to the volunteers: Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Race results and more below.

Road Runner members made a particularly strong showing in the awards, with four Road Runners finishing in the top three of their age group in the marathon, and three in the half-marathon.
