Rose Bowl Half Marathon & 5k

Today was the inaugural Rose Bowl Half Marathon and 5k. It started and finish at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena. Runners, walkers and even a few stroller-pushers, got to pass through some of the city's most famous landmarks: The Colorado Bridge, the Arroyo Seco, JPL, and more.

The day was cool, cloudy with intermittent sprinkles, refreshing the contestants as they began sweeping past the finish line today at around 9:30 am.
