Kirksville Marathon

The Kirksville Stars and Stripes Marathon/Half Marathon was nearly a month ago, but since I was gone I didn’t get the opportunity to capture any images of the event itself. I posted early electronic files showing these marathon items, but seeing the real thing gives them credibility.

This is the finisher medal. Each participant received one as they crossed the finish line. A nice keepsake for such an amazing accomplishment. I ran the Seattle Rock’n Roll Half Marathon this summer, and let me tell you, it really is an accomplishment I’m very proud of.

Here is the number bib that each runner received in their goody bag.  When Allen received them from our vendor he said, “Brooke, these are a keepsake all by themselves.”  That made me smile.  I hope some of the runners felt the same way.

The 100 series was for the marathon runners, and 200 series for half marathon.

This is a template Allen cut out and used for mile markers along the route.  He totally understands the power of branding an event, OR is simply entertaining me, either way you’ve gotta love it.  Under each logo painted on the route was the mile marker in white.

I simply love the color and texture of this shot, it has so much character, kinda like each and every runner!

Have a great weekend and remember to slow down and take time to enjoy the simple things in life.
