The Flying Pirate Half Marathon
The Flying Pirate Half Marathon ran Sunday April, 18th, and some of our members were in it! Of the 1,500 runners who participated this year, 18 were members of the KnuckleUp Beach Boot Camp. These are 1,500 of some of the toughest competitors from the Mid-Atlantic, and our people were able to hold their own. Congratulations!
The Flying Pirate Half Marathon is the first half of the Outer Banks Marathon which will be held this November. It is approximately 21 km and is part of a series of marathons. It started in Kitty Hawk and ended in Nags Head, where there was a celebratory party and award ceremony behind Wings.
Leading the KnuckleUp crew was Coach Matt Costa with a finish time of 1hr and 46min, followed closely by Allison Saunders-Broughton, the wife of Matt Broughton, owner of Cosmo's Pizza in Corolla. Allison placed 4th in the ladies 25-30 age group. Congratulations Allison!
Other notable participants were the father-daughter team of Preston Carswell and Shannon Clift, as well as newcomers Mishelle Musika and Lisa Cafferty.
Congratulations to all of the competitors of the Flying Pirate Half Marathon, and especially to Matt Costa’s Boot Camp class for making us proud!
We’d also like to extend a special thanks to our volunteers: Kathy Farmer, Mary Luton, and Sharon Elliot.
