Cheer the GEM

On September 7th I had the opportunity to cheer on the runners of the Hidden Gem Half Marathon in Flossmoor Illinois.  It was an awesome experience for my family and I.

 

 

Our day got started at 7:45 a.m. as the runners were set to pass right in front of my home around 8 a.m..  I was able to set up right in my driveway with music playing to keep them going.

The runners seemed to really enjoy the music, dancing and the kids dressed up as super heroes.  They even got some high fives as they ran the course.
