Dollar Bank Junior Great Race

I guess this can be the 10th annual -- but -- there was a time when the race was stopped in its tracks by Mayor Murphy. Refunds were given. A crisis was needed to waive in the face of residents of the city and suburbania and Harrisburg. Murphy's wisdom put a stop to the race despite the facts that The Great Race makes money.

Our family went and participated in the Jr. Great Race. I ran with Grant, 7. We finished the one mile run in 8:08.
Erik was ahead of us -- about 6:30 -- for the mile. But, I wasn't there to see his final time. That's what he told us.

The diaper crawl was so cute. Dan D's 4th was a doll.

Nice event Citiparks.
