Years on the job: This is my fouth.
Highlight of your particular aid station or your segment of the Marathon course: Due to my roots in the Pilsen community, connections with various community groups, and the diverse schools that participate in Chicago Run, I can guarantee our Aid Station is going to be lively and diverse. Chicago Run is a not-for-profit organization that promotes youth running programs in our Chicago Public Schools and this will be a great way for our kids to be connected to the local running community. There is much potential—I am excited about the possibilities!
