Runners participating in the 2011 Okinawa Marathon pass by a group of volunteers stationed along the marathon route through Kadena, while one runner accepts a cup of water, Feb. 20. Kadena service members and their families participated in the marathon by either running along the 26.2 mile route through the island’s cities, towns and villages, or by simply passing out water and fruit to the runners.
