A few weeks ago we had a "Challenge" weekend in Almere with three days of all kind of running races. I didn't follow the rates, I am not that sporty minded, but had a look at the whole circus around the event.
There were lots of people around.
And at the finish steam was blowing when the runners arrived.

I love races! Been in many. Alas, the only races I'm in these days are races to the fridge.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenI'm not a runner, either, but it looks like this was quite an event. Most of the races we see here in the states are linked to some charitable cause, and many sign up to run to bring in money.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenHearty folks out there, or so it seems. Certainly appears to be a very popular event!!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenTerrific crowd shots!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenWat een snelheid hebben die atleten! Indrukwekkend om te zien.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenIt's a circus with lots of advertising. It seems sports is big on advertising as sports and advertising pays the bills.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenLooks like the weather was perfect for this event!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenDearest Marianne,
BeantwoordenVerwijderenIt is hard to make any assessment by looking at just the photos... Lots of red; the attention-getting color of choice and as Red mentioned, quite a circus with lots of advertising...
Hugs,
