More than 10,000 people braved the near-freezing temperatures Feb. 17 to run and support the 26.2 with Donna, the national marathon to finish breast cancer. The race began at The Players parking lot off of ATP Tour Boulevard in Ponte Vedra Beach and looped through Jacksonville and Atlantic Beaches. Local bands set up along First Street to provide entertainment for onlookers and runners. After the race, runners and supporters gathered at the Mayo Clinic in the Runner’s Village for food, drinks and music.
