Last weekend was the New Bedford Half Marathon. This is an annual marathon that draws runners from all over the world and has been referred to as “the warm-up for the Boston Marathon.” Since the start/finish point is literally walking distance from my house, I decided to grab the camera and talk a walk downtown to capture some images of the runners.
This is the overall and men's winner of the race.
...and the women's winner.
Some local politicians were in attendance.
The volunteers were having plenty of fun just after the race began.
The runners take a much needed breather after the race.
New Bedford's finest keeping everybody safe.
