Mile 24 and raining. He finished but other are still on the course
Its hard to believe that a beach like this could excess in Pennsylvania. The sand the water its almost like the Ocean. Presque Isle state park is located on the shore of lake Erie. It could easily be mistaken for Chesapeake Bay. Peaceful waves hitting the beach with families playing in the sand.
But one Sunday in September is becomes an adrenaline filled. The Erie Marathon, 26.2 miles of lake Erie shores. or a should say two laps around Presque Isle State Park. Before the sun rises people gathered in the parking lot of Walsameer Park. Then walk the mile to the start. From there the race awaits.
Rain go away
Halfway through the race the rain started. Jean and John were still out on the course. It wasn’t major rain but a slow constant rain. The looks on peoples faces were that of determination. Rain or shine the runners were going to finish.
