February 23

Houston, Texas

Over 15,000 runners compete in the 10K Conoco Phillips Rodeo Run
This amazing race was taking place on the Westbound section of Allen Parkway.
Meanwhile, 4,000 Trail Riders were taking horses and wagons in to Houston on the Eastbound section of Memorial Drive.
I took both of these pictures within about 20 minutes of one another. Just a few blocks apart.

That is quite a celebration. Great capture of this crowd of runners. A very difficult subject to get right. V.

The 3 running opposite are the front runners, they have gone halfway and are now returning to the finish. They were very far ahead of the others.
