Great write-up Herb. I was really sorry to miss this finale race (and the breakfast!). It has been a perennial favorite of mine.
ReplyDeleteIt's not the only race in the area that served breakfast, but it's one of a very few. The Shamrock Scurry 5K and the Breakfast on the Track Mile are the only others that I can think of.
