Fuel for the Finish

"Fuel for the Finish." That's a tag line the beef industry is using to tell consumers about the benefits of lean beef.

On Saturday October 2nd, however, this tag line took on a literal meaning during the 2nd Annual Montgomery Half Marathon. Of around 1,140 runners registered for the 13.1 mile event, 1,063 completed the race. Those that did were no doubt glad to see what awaited them as they climbed the last hill on the course running north on Bainbridge Street. There, at the marker for mile 11 was the Alabama Cattlemen's Association building, a water station, and a hot grill serving everyone's favorite protein boost: BEEF!

Congratulations to all the runners! To see a complete list of finishers from the event, please click here.
