2008 Great Aloha Run


The 24th Great Aloha Run took place yesterday with the finish line at Aloha Stadium. As part of the JumboTron video crew, we captured those who made the eight-mile journey cross the finish line. In this year's event, close to 21,000 people partcipated in the run/walk.

In today's photo, several US military units ran in formation and cadence thoughout the entire run, called the Sounds of Freedom, and they even had their own finish line, while every other runner crossed the main finish line. Some of this year's participating units were on deployment to Iraq and Afghanistan last year, and held their own version of the Great Aloha Run at their bases.

Wow, what a neat event and you got a great shot of some of the finishers. I hope it wasn't too hot for them. They look tired!
