The Manchester Road Race is a 4.75 mile race run on Thanksgiving morning. There are 15,000 registered runners and many more who run without registering.
Among the runners were 23 members of my neighbor Jack's family. You have met Jack before, here and here. Jack -- at the bottom right -- is 80 years old. He ran the race again this year, as he always does. Five of his ten children ran, along with assorted spouses and grandchildren.
I left town before they came back from the race, so I don't know how they did. But, it is a very athletic family. I'll bet they all ran well.
what a beautiful family.
ReplyDeleteTen children!? He needs energy to keep up with them and apparently he is very successful. Love their matching t-shirts and the faces of the youngsters!
ReplyDeleteHey Jack - thanks for showing us Jack again! What a great family photo and wonderful inter-generational family activity!
ReplyDeleteGo Jack go!
Wonderful family tradition. Memories and commitments like this really building families.
ReplyDeleteA beautiful and amazing family! Good for them! Great shot for the day, Jack! Enjoy your weekend!

A very athletic and handsome family, I'd say! I'm sure they did a good job!
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome that he's still running at 80 and his family too... lovely group shot!
ReplyDeleteWay to go Jack, 80 and running! This is a good way to start the Thanksgiving day (not so much guilt later on) :)
ReplyDeleteThis Jack is an example to us all! Glad to see him again.
ReplyDeleteHow inspiring! and your neighbour certainly dosen't look 80 years.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure they all enjoyed their Thanksgiving dinner after the race.
So lovely!
ReplyDeleteHave a great Sunday:)
Sounds like a fun family tradition.
ReplyDeleteYou can miss a group wearing that color. Great shot.
ReplyDelete23 entrants from one family?! Very cool. I hope they won at least one age category.
