He had to be to the University Mall at 5:00am, on Saturday, October 29th. The buses took the nearly 4,000 people who signed up to run (costumes optional) up Provo Canyon, on the Alpine Loop, above Sundance. Race started at 9:00am. We got to the park about 10:30, and Jon came through the finish line at approximately 29 minutes later. The kids were great as we waited for Dad to cross the finish line.
It was fun seeing all the runners come through and see the costumes. People were quite creative. We saw: batman, Darth Vader, Thing 1 & Thing 2, some Minions (from Dispicable Me), Avatar, Elvis, and many many others...including Forrest Gump!
Morgan was amazing!! She did so good... she was really bundled and slept most the time and did great!!
Jon completed the Provo Halloween Half (13.2 miles) in 1 hour, 49 minutes. He finished 3rd for his age and race class. Not bad for his first race!!
Here's his race shirt, race bib, and medal. Our good friend's dad is the one who designed this medal.. pretty cool!
Here are the kids enjoying some hot chocolates and treats as we waited for Dad to be ready to go. We love you Jon!! We're so proud of you! Can't wait to come support you at your next race!
