Airport Runway Run – Fun on the Taxiway
the Bristow Tri and Swim group did another great job with a unique venue. This is definitely a fun race for the whole family. Because there are no trees out on the course, you can watch family members with binoculars nearly the entire time !
The start was in front of Main Terminal on the Taxiway at the Manassas Airport. The weather was perfect for racing, pacing and spectating. No vehicular traffic meant safe striding on the wide runways of the Manassas Airport. Lawyer Landau was the 10th male finisher across the line, averaging 6:40/mile, fast enough to win his age group. The charitable group that was the race beneficiary was the Rotary Club of Manassas, which works in partnership with Rotary International to address international issues including polio eradication, environmental degradation, illiteracy, world hunger, clean water and children at risk.
