So this weekend I ran the 5/3rd River Bank 10k in Grand Rapids, MI. I have ran many 10k's, and 5k's and 1 1/2 marathon. My mom trained to complete the 25k!!! So I decided to run the 10k with her.
Anyways this race was so cool because of all the neat technology that they had throughout the race.
There was live TV streaming for people watching the race. There were video cameras at the start & finish lines. And for the Elite runners there was a live action DRONE that followed them to record them.
It was just such a neat experience to go back at the end of the race, type in my bib number and see myself cross the finish line! In most normal races you may be lucky to have a photographer snap your photo, or if you family is paying attention they will capture you crossing the line. But never have I had the experience of watching myself do it!
Its just so amazing how much races have changed since I first starting running almost 7 years ago now.
