My Favorite Races

• Chicago Marathon- This was my first full marathon in 2014 and I ran with the Pat Tillman foundation. I would like to run this race again sometime, because I went in with to harsh of expectations on myself and I let it ruin my experience. But the one thing I remember the most, was the AMAZING crowd support.

• Pat’s Run- This run benefits the Pat Tillman Foundation and the Tillman Scholars while also honoring Pat. 4.2 miles through Tempe, AZ and it’s the largest race I’ve been too with such a short distance.

• Marine Corp Marathon- I ran this with Wear Blue: Run to Remember and it was hands down one of the best experiences I’ve ever had. In fact this is my favorite race and I totally see why it is deemed “the people’s marathon”.

• Fort Bragg 10 Miler- This race draws a large local crowd, and for most it’s pretty boring. But this is a race I always have the best PR’s every time even with the hills at the start and finish.

Marine Corps Marathon, often referred to as 'the people's marathon', brings together runners from various backgrounds and creates a sense of camaraderie. Its connection with Wear Blue: Run to Remember adds a powerful layer of significance to the event for many participants. Finally, the Fort Bragg 10 Miler attracts local runners despite its challenging course; it proves that sometimes, familiarity with a race can lead to personal records and cherished memories. Each race contributes to the larger community of runners, emphasizing the importance of support, purpose, and personal growth through running.
