Good Friday 5K 2004

As was often the tradition, runners who ran the Bermuda 10KM would go for a run on the marathon route the next day, during the race. Here are Eddie Raposo and Joe Sax doing just that in 1984.

The year before he won the Around The Bay Race, Joe Sax finished second
to Mike Dyon in 1980. Here he is with that look on his face - relief, pain, and maybe a hint of disappointment, as he reaches the finish of the 19.1 mile route.
