2006 Mountair Mile Race Photos
Our first year was a great success. We had about 40 athletes in the race and raised about $700 for The Sharing Place.
Here are just a few of the racers gearing up at the starting line.
Ibrahim Quraishi and Anderson Murakami were neck and neck right down to the finish line.
Ibrahim ended up pulling ahead to take the title for the 2006 Mountair Mile. Congratulations!
Below are several other photos capturing some of the other athletes riding tough!
