The temperatures reached 90 degrees, and so did the determination! ☀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️

Commonwealth Race Timing was at West Sixth Farm in Frankfort, timing some tough runners who didn’t let the heat stop them from reaching the finish line. We were sweating right alongside you, and proud to capture every finish!

Many of the 10K runners succumbed to the brutal heat and bowed out for the 6K. Although we were task saturated, there was nowhere else we’d rather be but at an even LMT put on my ?

Congratulations to everyone who braved the heat and got it done!
