KnuckleUp Team Rocked The Outer Banks Marathon

Part of KnuckleUp Team @ The Outer Banks Marathon - Only Winners!

This past Sunday, November 9th, the Outer Banks hosted their famous Marathon - and of course, the KnuckleUp Team was there to completely dominate the event! (just like they did at the Kitty Hawk Heritage Day 5k race)

According to Matt Costa, our fitness bootcamp instructor, who ran the 1/2 marathon well under 2 hours, bootcamp students were able to finish the Marathon with ease... So much so that they were all back in the gym on Monday morning!

In this group of super-fit students were Shelley Tolbert, Courtney Wisecarver, Karly Wood, Kathy Farmer, and Franco Mineo, just to name a few. These winners all finished the 13 1/2 miles in the 2 hour mark - Congratulations everybody!

But we can not forget one of the super stars on the team: the fittest minister on the East Coast, Jay Bowman. Jay ran the full marathon (26+ miles) and took it as a "training session". Here's what Jay said about it:

"so it ended up being a marathon I used as a training run for a 50k race in Virginia Beach on december 19th. anyone interested in a challenge on trails?"

Huge Congratulations to Matt, Jay, Shelley, Karly, Kathy, Franco, Courtney, and everybody that ran on Sunday - we're very proud of you!
