 The feared and forecasted rain stopped before the starting gun went off, and competitors in the 2025 Stockade-athon 15K Road Race seemed in good spirits despite the gray cloud cover. The Race volunteers at Washington Ave. and Front Street, across from Cucumber Alley were also in good spirits (see thumbnail at right). I was again stationed there, at “Cucumber Corner”, with my camera and monopod, and wished that the runners coming at me in a rushing stream were not so close together (clumped together) as I tried to commemorate their race. 

. . . . 8:30 am at Front St. and Washington Ave.
