Exchange at the Finish Line

In the cool morning hours of Saturday, October 2, members of St. George Exchange Club came out for the 34th consecutive year in (nearly) full force to support the Marathon as hosts of the 24th annual Mayor's Walk. The slightly smaller (from previous years), but equally excited and energetic crowd - including mothers and fathers, teens, children, seniors and the family dog - gathered at Bluff Street Park waiting in the darkness for the signal to begin. At the end of the 2.1 mile walk to the Marathon finish line at Vernon Worthen Park hot scones, honey butter and juice awaited. Thanks to 2010 MW chairman Ralph Flanagan and his committee including Jimi Kestin, Rosie Rosander, Tim Floyd, and Wayne Everett; and, to sponsors Yellow Book and State Bank of Southern Utah for another successful Mayor's Walk.
