Gran Pacifico Maraton/Mazatlan Dec 6 2009

Saturday night before the race on Sunday morning, the crowds lined up along the malecon to watch the hot air balloons fill up and the fireworks/light show a little later in the evening. Just a spectacular site to watch these balloons fill up and the fireworks were awesome.

Sunday morning about 8:00 the runners begin passing our building. At this point, they're more than 1/2 way through the 46K, or 26 mile race. The participants from Kenya lead the pack.



Not sure where this lady was from but she was the first of the ladies to pass by. She must have been important as she had escorts ahead and behind her.

Is this bystander's warm up suit pink enough??

The Kenyans are leading the pack on the homeward stretch too.

The skies were overcast for the race but by afternnoon this is what it looked like.

Just a gorgeous day!!
