“The whole weekend was SPECTACULAR!! The guys kicked off the race weekend at the expo picking up their numbers, chips, race packets and premiums. None of them have ever seen a race this big and were quite overwhelmed by the number of people and vendors. Friday night was the pasta party where everyone indulged in tables and tables of pasta and desserts – necessary fuel for all the miles that would be run the next day!! Before the sun was even up, Back on My Feet Baltimore had congregated at the Sports Legends Museum that was graciously opened up to us as a pre-race meeting spot and post race recovery zone. At about 7:15am, Back on My Feet corralled off a whole section of sidewalk to do their standard pre-run circle to get fired up and to send off the relay runners and marathoners. At the sound of the 8:00am gun, 5 marathoners Arnold S., Barry B., Johnny H., Keith M and Michael R. took off running down the streets of Baltimore along with the first legs of 3 different relay teams. While they were out trekking around the course, 20 members ran the 5k, several PR’ing by minutes!!! Lastly, at 9:45, 8 BOMF Baltimore members began the half marathon. When all was said and done, there were 45 residential members who competed in the Running Festival and every single person finished. While they might have crossed the line with aching muscles, they were nothing but smiles!” –Jackie Truncellito, Program Director
