2011 Twin Cities Marathon – a few photos

admin — Tue, 04 Oct 2011 02:02:42 +0000

Sunday was a beautiful day for the 2011 edition of the Twin Cities Marathon. Temperature started in the 40′s and were near 70 by noon. With very little clouds in the sky it was one of the better editions to photograph compared to previous years. As I have done for the last several years I was out taking photos as part of the photography team assembled to cover the event for the race organization. Here’s a sampling of some of my photos from Sunday’s event.
