Hershey Rap

Energizer Bunny ran a race with friends and family.

The Hershey Half Marathon was the place to be!
Met up on Saturday for roller coasters and dinner
This rabbit thinks we all came out winners
Sunday morning it was back to Hersheypark
With 5,000 runners - who all have heart!
The race supported the Children’s Miracle Network - 

An area where we should not shirk!

Caden was this year’s Miracle Child

He got the runners started and we all smiled!

Started off running around the park grounds
Saw the finish line after the loop around.

Then we ran for a bit in the park...

Ran by the coasters we rode in the dark!!! 

Exited the park and ran by a zoo.

Saw a bull moose and smelled moose poo!!

Was running with Lisa who was doing her first half race

And saw Christy from Team Z when we crossed paths along the way!

Next up were the Hershey County Club roads

Along a beautiful golf course and some hills we toed!

After the highest point on the course was done

We then ran by the relay hand-off point station!

Spent a few miles on campus of the Milton Hershey School 

The kids were out cheering and were so flippin cool!

As we headed back towards the park to the finish line

Had to split from Lisa because I needed a break this time...

In the last mile or so there was a candy rest stop!

Got my Hershey bar and kept moving; chop-chop!!

Back into the park grounds, the end was in sight

The Hersheypark Stadium was just up ahead to the right!

Had to run around the outside and then went in
Saw the finish arch and it was time to sprint!

Almost missed our awesome Sherpas at the end

But they shouted out before I went around the bend!

Smiling - of course - I crossed the finish line

Then saw Christy’s husband Greg waiting on the side!

Cousin Lynn ran with her friend Marcy – it was her first, too

They trained very hard and totally saw it through!!

We all met up in the middle of the field for a photo

With our Twizzlers finish medals we proudly showed!
After we all walked over to Hershey’s Chocolate World place

At 5 pounds, they have the largest chocolate bar of anyplace!!!!

A super fun weekend with family and friends,

This rabbit would definitely do this race again!

The volunteers were super and it was well organized

And 5,000 runners seems perfectly sized!
