The Mile 9 stop on the Hidden Gem Half Marathon offered Gatorade, water, bananas, and show tunes that blared from the speaker at the watering stop in the Braeburn/Brassie neighborhood.
And, plenty of encouragement from the volunteers who cheered, clapped and rang cow bells as the more than 1,200 runners came through the stop on Brassie Avenue.
“You’re two-thirds of the way there!” one volunteer shouted.
