Run for Freedom 5k race, parade

So, I race directed the Run for Freedom today. This is always a fun race, with a ton of day-of registrations.

 Runners got a great running hat for signing up today. Pictured below.

Sadly, I totally spaced and did not get any photos at the race. Ah well. Notable racers included Jennifer, who posted a PR, Emily who also PR'd AFTER biking for an hour directly before the race as part of a brick and Jimmy, who narrowly missed his very aggressive goal while running very strong. Oh cripe, Ian ran as well. He had to lie down for a minute after the race. Please note that I love this.
 
Finally, some woman ran the whole race with an open umbrella. Reread that last sentence. Hilarious, plus she finished in a somewhat respectable time. I should add an award for this type of behaviour.
 
We then went to a fun parade. Violet got to sit in a popo car.

This guy was also there. He spent too much time getting ready for just this one parade, so I hope he had plans after.
