I ran the Watermelon Run for the Fallen in Hempstead this morning. Have not run it for a couple of years. The race starts at the football stadium and finishes downtown. The pre-race activities include several military ceremonies, a fly-over and parachutist landing on stadium field, carrying flags. All race participants are required to walk two laps around the stadium track to start the race. Those who want to run then leave the stadium and run 2.8 miles to downtown, where they have static displays and more ceremonies honoring our fallen heroes. The run is non-competitive, but I finished the 2.8 run in 38:05.
