Media Coverage

Well, what started off as just a group of runners wanting to keep the DC Marathon spirit alive turned out to be quite a media darling. With more than 100 hits in television, radio, and print media, the Unofficial DC Marathon and Operation Run for America was quite a success. We're still compiling this, but we wanted to get it up on the site fast.
