I help organize the start/finish area and have been on staff since 2011. 

I am a long time runner (35 years or so), and while I’m no longer out there everyday in search of a PR, I haven’t given it up. In 2011, I completed my first marathon, the Marine Corps Marathon in Washington D.C. I followed that in 2012 with the Bayshore Marathon. I then realized that although I’m not a marathon runner, running is still a great way to keep me fit enough to do all of the other things that I enjoy. That includes all things outdoors, from cross-country skiing, snow shoeing, hiking, backpacking, kayaking, Jeeping, biking, camping, and traveling, to just sipping wine or whiskey at the cottage. If it is outdoors and can be turned into fun or adventure, I’ll do it. My wife Lisa and I both love to travel, and while now retired, neither of us plan to settle into a sedentary lifestyle anytime soon.

We are always looking at ways to improve the start/finish area, so if you have any good ideas about the flow of runners leading up to the start and after the finish, or the locations of tents, porta-johns and spectator areas, George and I would love to hear from you.
