Runners in the full and half marathons at this year's Scotiabank Blue Nose Marathon found more than just water and Gatorade when they reached the Leeds Street water station. They also encountered a slew of volunteers, all decked out in Dalhousie gear, and the Dal Tiger, ready to cheer them on to the rest of their race. Dal News' Ryan McNutt was there to capture the action.
