July 4th marks the annual Mount Marathon race in Seward, straight up a mountain and back down. The majority of the racers come down the mountain and through the finish line with muddied faces, wet shorts from sliding down on their bottoms and gravel embedded in their legs. An accomplishment to say the least.
The younger runners face a less intimidating course. For the 2-6 year olds a short course is set on the road. Young racers begin with great enthusiasm yet a lost shoe, lost sight of Mommy, a fall or a collision with other runners is cause for many tears on this course. The Guyer boys did a great job and finished their run without any mishaps.
Racers ready! Mitchell and Quinn with their friends Bret and Kurtis.
