Marathon Memories: A Day of Community and Cheer 

On October 18, 2026, the Harrison West Society welcomed neighbors and marathon supporters to its Marathon Cheer Party at Perry Street Park, perfectly positioned between miles 23 and 24 of the race course. Throughout the event, enthusiastic cheerers gathered to encourage runners as they approached this demanding stretch, enjoying free coffee and hot chocolate to stay warm and energized. Bubba’s Sandwich Truck served food for hungry guests, while DJ Wes Woods kept the atmosphere lively with inspirational music. With plenty of encouragement, refreshments, and community spirit, it was a truly fun event, and we look forward to gathering again for next year’s marathon! A few photos and a video from the event are provided below to capture the celebration.
