RACE DAY

 

ADVENTURE LOCATION:

DECATUR, ALABAMA

POINT MALLARD PARK

DATE: OCTOBER 12, 2024

A nice day greeted the OFM Team when we finally got it going this morning. The whole area was alive and well and busy as could be. The cross country race event was well on its way when we got out to walk.

There was a large turnout for sure. The parking lots of the water park section were crammed with vehicles for almost the whole water park parking area.

Then closer to the main HQ for the event the school buses were crammed in on top of each other nearly.

The OFM meandered down the campground back trail to get near the race course. When we got there the people traffic urging the runners on was HUGE.

After all the race events were done we could hear the awards ceremony clear over here in the campground. It finished right on schedule and the area was clear by 1500. It is nice to see so many folks having so much fun and excited but being polite and happy.

The OFM just stayed out of the way and enjoyed everything from the side lines. Then in the afternoon and evening we wandered around talking with folks and having nice visits. I bet there are some sore parents and kids tomorrow morning. Everyone have fun and good night.
