  1. So you have any photos of bib 361? My husband was only able to get one photo of me and I was hoping maybe you got some from the NVR marathon last Saturday. Great race! It was my first marathon!

    • Hi Courtney! Congratulations on your first marathon. I suggest you contact the race director. We covered the race as a journalist and do not have photos of each runner. We can check ours next week, but it’s not likely. Sorry.
