This week, a longtime member of our community, Cheryl, shares her experience at the Marine Corps 17.75K. Join us as we explore Cheryl’s journey, her battles, victories, and the unique camaraderie found on the less-traveled paths of running trails.
We unpack the race course, the thoughtful swag that comes along with it, and the heartwarming anecdotes of volunteering at water stops amidst the supportive chants of the Marine Corps members there. We’ll also walk you through the specifics of navigating the hilly terrain of Prince William Forest Park.
As we wind down, we swap running tips for tales of post-race celebrations and the local culinary delights that await. From spontaneous tributes to loved ones to shared laughter under adverse weather, we cover the spectrum of emotions that can make a race like this an unforgettable experience.
Don’t forget to indulge after burning all those calories! Cheryl will guide you to some great local finds to celebrate, too!
