I ran the 5K part of the Baltimore Running Festival on October 15th, 2011. I wanted to run the marathon again, but my knee injury won't let me run much more than 5 miles or so at a time. Since the marathon starts before the 5K and ends afterwards, I was able to take some photos of the marathon start and finish.
The wheelchair racers started first.
