Entertainment
We would like to thank the numerous bands who performed throughout our half-marathon route including Strictly Hip who performed at our post-race party. Soul Committee provided the musical entertainment at Artpark (Half Marathon Starting Line) from 7:30 to 9:00am. Runners were greeted by the famous MacKenzie Highlander Bagpipers as they exited Artpark followed by Clyde at the Lewiston Red Brick Building. Brother Taharka and his traditional African drummers were at one of the many Underground Railroad crossing points on River Road while Zak Ward rocked Stella Niagara. Not far down the road the Brass Monkeez were cranking out some awesome tunes. In the Village of Youngstown we enjoyed traditional Irish music performed by the Celtic Circle Ceilidh Band. The final live band along our 13.1 mile run was The Junk Yard Dogs performing their classic blues at Bandana's Bar & Grille near the twelve mile marker. DJ The Dee Jay motivated our runners down the homestretch and across the finish line!
