Millarville "Run to the Farmers' Market Half Marathon 2015

A fine day for a run in the country.

You see the oddest things . . . .

Counting down telephone poles on Racetrack Road

The climb . . . . . after a mostly downhill 8-kilometres from Turner Valley, a climb up the Campbell Hill, 1.1 KM and not as steep as the telephoto makes it look

The final mile, turning into the Farmers' Market in the distance

The lululemon Calgary Southcentre cheer team to give a final push to the finish line

Aid station on Racetrack Road

Chowing down on cinnamon buns on Racetrack Road. For these bunners, one more bun to go three miles down the road

Climbing the Campbell Hill

Another Aid Station - the Sheep Creek Weavers!!!

Residents offer encouragement

Turning into the finish line

The finish line

They were free . . . . . but nothing like the feeling of stealing some cinnamon buns from under the watchful eye of COBS Bread Okotoks owner Lee Hodgins. About 1,400 cinnamon buns were handed out at the event.

Fabulous finishers medals

The cycle team!!!

Before the race, the bachelor party takes a moment to reflect. The gentleman on the left was getting married and paying his penance in that shirt and tiara.

And then he won the 8-Mile "Bunner" event with his brothers second and third (Deryk Salter photo).

The shirt says it all . . . . . lots of runners feel that way near the end of a race!!! (Deryk Salter photo)

That's getting pretty familiar with our course marshall . . . . . they hadn't seen each other in 15 years (Kathleen Long photo)

Let's have a round of cinnamon buns for the ladies over here!!!! (Kathleen Long photo)

As do some non-Bunners too . . . . .

Over the Campbell Hill and down the other side . . . . .

. . . . . and up the next hill too . . . .

The Millarville Tilt & Lance Cavalry were a hit at KM 18 on the half marathon course, about mile 6.4 on the Cinnamon Bun Run

Stopping for a picture . . . .

. . . . . or just running by

They kept on coming . . . . .

. . . . and Officer Kevin was a popular guy with his high-fives

The Champion Bunner, Ben Elliott, was first among all 8-milers, including those just running through, in spite of stopping twice himself to eat some cinnamon buns.

. . . . . . as young as 14 and one of the fastest in the field . . . .

Over the last hill . . . . .

. . . . surprised by lululemon cheer team

. . . . who were not shy at all . . . .

. . . . around the final curve

Getting the prize . . . .

Celebrations abound . . . . .

Time to let loose . . . .

. . . . . with a post-race cinnamon bun . . . .

The smiles

Proud Bunners and probably not too hungry after getting to the Farmers' Market

Lots to see and do at the finish line

Half-marathon in the bag
