Long Beach Marathon

Today was the 27th annual Long Beach International City Bank Marathon. My daughter and I joined 25,000 or so others on Shoreline Drive for the beginning of this 26.2 mile race. We weren't there to run, but to take photos of the masses of people in this scenic race. Fortunately, the sun rose prior to the start of the race and allowed me to capture this image of the crowds heading toward the start line. Hours later those same runners were crossing the finish line in brilliant sunshine.
