Northcoast 24 hour is underway

The Northcoast 24 Hour Endurance Run, held at Cleveland's Edgewater State Park on October 3-4, 2009, started this morning amidst overcast skies and cool 55F temperatures. So far, the rain has held off.

I took a set of photos during the 10 a.m. hour this morning. Click here to view the entire photo album.
