If Neal Neroni, president of Hermes had hand picked a day for his Hermes 10 Miler, he couldn’t have picked a more beautiful day. By 7:30 a.m., the shores of Lake Erie were 72 degrees – two degrees higher than last years high of the day.
Although the temperature climbed through the morning, runners were able to cool off, at various times, with the breeze coming off the lake. I even saw a few run through the sprinklers that spectators had placed at the end of their driveways.
The new course was flat, well marked and supported by volunteers and the Cleveland Police Officers – thank you. As usual, the race was well organization, and in my opinion – superb!

The Hermes 10 Miler is a great race to hone in on your abilities early in the season and a good race for a newbie or experienced runner. The residential area and monitored traffic made this race enjoyable.
Results are already on Hermes Web site, and the pictures taken by Brightroom Photography are available for review on April 30.
Thank you Hermes for another great race.
