Rocket City Marathon won by a first-time marathon runner
« on: December 19, 2025, 06:29:00 PM »
I can't run anymore, and I didn't volunteer (most of my weather-appropriate gear is too small anymore) this year, but cool story re my local marathon. (He is not from here; he's from a neighboring state). Zander-Velloso Enjoys Winning Debut at 49th Rocket City Marathon - Tennessee Valley Outsider


Weather was right around freezing with 15mph winds.  It sucked.  I have friends who volunteered and the runners couldn't open their own gu at the aid stations (neither could the volunteers, so scissors) because their hands were too cold.
Ellen stole my joy and I want it back!

Nice that the finish was indoors on a yucky day.
If you're not living on the edge, you're taking up too much room.
