Marty's 50 State Marathon Quest |
|
 |
Longtime club member and former SCR President, Marty Winkel completed his first marathon in February of 1982. Since that time he has run a marathon in every state as well as the District of Columbia. The 50 State Quest all started in 1990, when he was planning a marathon in Pennsylvania, after completing his fourth marathon in Greensboro N.C. The quest was achieved in February of 2005 at the Mardi Gras Marathon, in New Orleans, LA. Congratulations Marty! |
