Glass City Marathon Race Ambassador 2017

Yes it’s true… I will be representing the Glass City Marathon again in 2017!

The Glass City Marathon will be held on April 23, 2017.  It is the following events:

• Mercy Health Glass City Marathon
• Owens Corning Half Marathon
• Yark Subaru 5-person relay
• Medical Mutual Glass City 5K
• Findley Davies Kids Marathon

I’m pretty sure I will be running the relay.  I think it would be awesome to get my kids involved in the “big race” and have them experience the fun of race day!  These are the legs for the relay:

• Leg 1 – 6.7 Miles
• Leg 2 – 6.2 Miles
• Leg 3 – 3.1 Miles
• Leg 4 – 4.9 Miles
• Leg 5 – 5.3 Miles

My son wanted a short distance, so 3.1 would be perfect for him, and of course my daughter wanted to cross the finish line, so that last leg would be perfect for her!  With the relay there are actually several combos – I could also do the half marathon and run the first leg of the relay.  Or Alan could run the full marathon and run along with all of us!  Heck, could I run the 5K AND do a leg of the relay??  Think of the options!!

No matter what distance or race you are going for, here’s a tip: each race Ambassador will have 2 free bibs to give away this year and there are almost twice as many Ambassadors this year!  Those giveaways will start in a few weeks, so keep an eye out for that.

I’m excited to be part of such a diverse group of runners again supporting the race, and to be helping promote our race day and running community!  So if you have any questions about the race, feel free to ask me any time or leave a comment about it.  Hope you will be joining me on race day!!

Q:  If you had your choice of a free bib, which distance/event would you run?

Q: Have you ever run in a relay?

I haven’t – but it looks like a good time!  I’d also like to run Ragnar relay in the near future.
