Quad City Marathon

Brian had the privilege of being on a relay team at the Quad City Marathon. Brian ran the last leg of the race, 4.3 miles. His team did a great job!

The winner of the 2009 Quad City Marathon. He is from Kenya. The second place also went to a Kenyan, third place was an Ethiopian, and fourth place was U.S.

At the finish line. I'm not sure if this is his exact final time. It may be off a few seconds, but man is that fast. People were still finishing the half marathon as the elite runners were finishing the full marathon. That is fast!

Sofia was playing while Brian was running.

This is Brian's team running to finish! The whole team gets together so they can cross the finish line as a team.
