FEET-URED RUNNER: Rae with No regrets!

“The ECM was nothing short of amazing .From the fantastic spectators to the fun but challenging course, I never expected to be running my first half marathon just a few short months after starting my running journey. Seriously, I signed up three days before the race but am so happy I chose Eau Claire. I really was surprised by all the support and how much fun everyone was having. Whether you were running or a spectator, everyone involved made it all enjoyable, and kept me going at times I just wanted to quit.

What I was most proud of was my son and husband, who did the full marathon.  My son, Vlad, is a first year student at UWEC, and this was his second marathon.  He chose this as a final for one of his courses and then made sure his dad signed up for his very first marathon so they could share this experience together.  What a memory for them to have. 5 star event! Thank you for an awesome experience ECM!”
