Over 10,000 people signed up for this year’s “Race for the Cure” 5K and 1 mile race in Winston-Salem, NC. A beautiful day and I brought my camera. My girlfriend and mom ran the 5K, I spectated with my camera. I took about 150 pics and here are some of my favorites:

Pink and white are the support color for Breast Cancer awareness

    I've marshaled bike rides in the past on my old RT (lighter than the RTP but
    otherwise the same). You can definitely hoon it up on one :D
