Windy Weather Delayed the Races for 2+ HoursTwo big weather fronts threatened the Key West Half and 5K on Sunday morning. Race officials delayed the race to keep everyone safe. After 2+ hours, the race started as planned. Everyone I've seen or heard from said it was a fun event. Great tour around the island, musical street party, happy volunteers, and blingy bling. This year's medals were a mermaid for the half marathoners and a cute-as-ever 5K medal. Disclaimer: I'm promoting Key West Half and 5K as part of being a BibRave Pro.
