Before the start of Saturday's race, Mike Ockleston (left) was introduced to the crowd by Schaun Colin. Ockleston did a rooster crow to start the runners, a tradition brought over from the Commrades Marathon in South Africa.

Talking points
Do you think Veterans Day should be a prominent holiday?
Absolutely. We wouldn’t be able to sit here and eat lunch like this if it weren’t for the veterans. We’ve got millions of people that fought and died to save this country; it should be more than a bank holiday.
