Tree City Marathon

Christine Churpek

Finish Time 3:43:55

Christine Churpek wasn’t going to let the COVID-19 crisis ruin her marathon dreams so she decided to do something about it.  Christine had been training for months to make an attampt at a Boston marathon qualifying run.  When all of the spring marathons were cancelled she decided to create her own one woman marathon.  Sure it wasn’t a sanctioned official race but it was a truly inspiring effort that brought much of the Kent running community together.
