Marathon Water Stop Report in CIDNA

Photos by Patty Schmitz

Runners come through CIDNA for just a brief time, but the water stop provides them music, hydration and lots of cheers. The volunteers are energized by the smiles and the thank you from the runners.

After last year’s Marathon cancellation, the 2024 water stop came back strong, serving 3,300 runners. The event is a passion project of two Cedar Isles-Dean residents and wouldn’t be possible without the amazing volunteers who come out to help – from cup filling to clean up.

This year, we had a VP candidate “sighting” and some hilarious signs from those cheering runners on. Looking forward to 2025 when we hope to serve even more runners!
