Before races, the Marathon Maniac and Half Fanatic running family often captures a ‘Family Photo.’ They took a quick group shot during the Garmin Kansas City Marathon & Half Marathon in Kansas City, MO, on October 17, 2026. The tradition of these group photos showcases their camaraderie and the spirit of community among runners, as they gather at events across the nation. This particular moment was credited to Brian Johnson for both the photo and the social media post.
