Tacoma City Marathon in Ruston

It was early for a Saturday morning, but several neighbors welcomed the Tacoma City Marathon runners to the streets of Ruston with water and "goo" (similar to Gatorade). The water station was sponsored by our own Ruston-Point Defiance Business District, but we had several community volunteers, too.

Our Ruston fire department was on hand to help if needed. Thankfully, the only injury was to our youngest volunteer, a scraped knee that was fixed up as good as new. A good time was had by all ~ thank you to the Ruston volunteers who made our town look so good!

UPDATE: A commenter tells us our water station won best in the marathon. All those "Welcome to Ruston" greetings paid off! We counted somewhere between 250 and 300 cups dispensed.
