To most, marathons are seemingly impossible. They take everything you’ve got...and then some. Somewhere around mile 19, or maybe mile 24.5, you need that euphoric push that draws you to that coveted 26.2. It isn’t only a physical force. It’s the realization that your efforts are about to pay off--the finish line is just ahead. 100% of the RFK runners that started the Marine Corps Marathon finished!
