LINCOLN, Neb., (5/29/09) – Fifty-seven of the nation’s top Army and Air National Guard distance runners were named to the 2009-10 “All Guard Marathon Team” after completing the arduous Lincoln/National Guard Marathon, May 3.
The All Guard Marathon Team is comprised of the top 40 male finishers, the top 15 female finishers and the top 2 masters, 50 and older, finishers.
The All Guard Marathon Team is expected to compete in five to eight marathons across the United States during the upcoming running season. The selectees will alternate events that they attend.
“The members rank the list of events we are attending on which ones they can and want to attend,” said Sgt. 1st Class Michael A. Hagen, National Guard Bureau Marathon Program coordinator.
Along with competing at the races, the members of the All Guard Marathon Team will also staff race expo booths designed to help raise interest in the National Guard and marathon running, said Hagen.
