#28--Keybank Vermont City Marathon

4:47:35 Burlington, VT With temperatures reaching into the 70s with 90% humidity at the start, the conditions were far from ideal for this one. However, it remained mostly overcast, and much of the course was in shade. This is a popular, New England holiday marathon and it's easy to see why. Burlington is a very cool town, with lots to see and do. From the expo to the post race party, Burlington can be proud of this marathon. Crowds were out in numbers and enthusiastic. At one point on the course in one of the residential neighborhoods, there was a large American flag hanging from the trees in the middle of the streets. Most if not all runners slapped the flag on their way by. It was a touching reminder of the sacrifice that so many have made on our behalf. As you enjoy this Memorial Day, turn your thoughts to those brave men and women who have given their lives to serve and protect this great nation of ours.
