Vimal, nice set capturing various stages of the run .. the last, the look of relief is so evident on the runner, and the one of glee on the little girl sprinting on the track is priceless ..

Great set Vim .. I got a real sense of atmosphere of the event. I actually like the 3rd B&W the most,,, the looks on the faces and the running/walkers all close together really work well.

Thanks for showing them,

Vin
