CINCINNATI 2.5 MILE HOME RUN Cincinnati, Ohio

Running Team: Dave Miller, Rosie Miller

Date: August 18, 1986

We ran this race several times, the last time with three other couples that we played racquetball with. Sponsored by the Cincinnati Reds, we began the race outside of the baseball stadium. We ran through the downtown streets of Cincinnati, entered the stadium from right field and ran a half lap around the ballfield to the finish line. That was cool finishing and looking up into the stands. About 1,500 runners participated. Each runner received a free ticket to the Reds baseball game which started about two hours after the race. The downside was that it was a hot day, and we were quite sweaty and sticky sitting in our seats throughout the game. Still a great experience.
