The yearly Meitar Night Race came down my street yesterday!
At 6:12 pm it was not yet night but at least the setting sun was at their back.
Running either the 5 K or 10 K can't be all that easy on Meitar's many hills.
The first wave was mainly kids.
They made a circle at the cellist roundabout and headed back.
The adults ran on around our town's ring road (map here).
Police kept wheeled traffic off the designated streets from 6:00 to 10:30 pm.
That also meant no buses on the regular bus route.
And residents were asked not to park on the street.
The race takes a lot of planning.
Glad I was only taking pictures.

ReplyDeleteSheep shearing, running...you live in a wonderful place! Good Shabbos dear
ReplyDeleteI like how the setting sunlight looks on the runners. Very nice shots!
ReplyDeleteThat first shot is my favourite of these. We have a race weekend coming up in a week; a lot of people come out for it.
ReplyDeleteVery beautiful images of the Meitar Night Race.
ReplyDeleteHappy weekend, Dina!
That sunlight makes the race look simply magical!
ReplyDeleteLove the sun light in the photos you took Dina !
ReplyDeleteOur races are usually timed to avoid the really hot sun, but it's not always successful.
