RUN LIKE A DIVA


                       RUN LIKE A DIVA


    The Run Like a Diva half marathon/5k run was held at the Branson Landing on May 17, 2015.  Run Like a Diva partnered with the Skaggs Foundation and Susan G. Komen Ozark affiliate.



    The day started off very cool.  It had been raining the night before and continued on and off throughout the day.  But the rain did not stop these dedicated runners and it did not stop
 In My Heart Photography from getting some fun shots!



 The half marathon runners started first with the 5K runners starting after them.  They all wore pink T-shirts that said, “Divas Half Marathon and 5K Branson, Mo.  May 17, 2015” with a tiara printed just above it.   New for this year, all participants received pink tutus.  These really added to the fun!  To complete the look these ladies also wore pink boas and tiaras. 

    There were lots of people that added their own touches to their ensembles.  One wore her wedding  dress!





                           Some wore bright pink lipstick.




 A few gentlemen were there sporting their own unique and stunning styles while running in support of these fabulous divas!

  
With the help of a very Special photographers assistant Miss Grandma Gail Help was amazing!


The rain did not seem to be a problem for the Diva-licious runners.  The firemen handing out medals at the finish line proved to be great motivation or maybe a good distraction from the rain!





    A 12 year old girl won the 5K and an amazing age group of 70-90 years young ran the race as well.


    When the race was completed the gals quenched their thirst with sparkling apple juice in super fabulous wine glasses in typical diva style.


  There was much laughter, photo bombing and many memories created.




 Various shops and restaurants at the Landing offered special discounts to diva participants.  They also could bid on purses in an online auction.  As if this day wasn’t diva spectacular enough, a concert was held in the evening featuring Candy Coburn. 

    In My Heart Photography’s Brenda Cook had a blast watching her own two daughters and sister running this race.  So much so that she wanted to share this experience with you.  Perhaps you might like to join in on the fun next year!
