Our family volunteered at an aid station on the American River 50 Mile Endurance Run. We were at the Main Bar Aid Station at mile 19. We helped the runners re-fuel and direct them where to go. The kids did great with cheering and helping out. The runners really loved seeing our kids along the way and many thanked us for volunteering. It was fun to watch all of the different runners and enjoy the beautiful scenery along the American River.
After we were done volunteering we drove to the finish line in Auburn and watched the finishers come across the finish line. We all were impressed. They looked like they had just finished a 10k not 50 miles. Here are some pictures.
Waiting patiently for the finishers to come!
