Yesterday was the
St. Louis Rock 'N Roll Marathon. About 13,000 runners participated and thousands of fans including newborns and the elderly lined the streets to root for their runners. A few weeks past I was in
Chicago and cheered on the runners in the annual
Bank of America Chicago Marathon. There were runners from all 50 states and over 100 countries. I was one of the approximately 1.5 million spectators. A moment of silence was held before the race began to memorialize and honor the victims of the
Boston Marathon bombing. Many of the runners and their cheerleaders wore shirts, shoes, bracelets, or carried banners in support of
Boston. In response to the tragedy in Boston, security has been ramped up at similar events throughout our country. Although the presence of uniformed police, undercover agents, and Homeland security was very evident in Chicago it didn't dampen the enthusiasm of the ginormous crowd. Security was also tight in St. Louis this weekend. In addition to the Rock 'N Roll Marathon, the
St. Louis Cardinals are also hosting games 3, 4 and 5 of baseball's World Series and our opponents are the
Boston Red Sox. So if you plan to attend one of the upcoming
marathons or
triathlons it is always fun to bring along your fans. The runners are energized by the encouragement of the crowd and how fun would it be to have the little ones wearing
personalized tees to cheer on mommy and/or daddy?
