Marathon! Des is a two-time U.S. Olympic Marathoner, finished 7th at the Rio Olympic Games, and is the first US women’s champion to win the Boston Marathon since 1985.
When you step to the start line, remember what you've done. Remember the miles, the blisters, the sweat. Remember the early mornings and late nights. Remember how much running has changed you & how far you've come. Most importantly, remember how far you will go.

You've put in the miles, sweat, tears, and laughs. You've run down your shoes. You've run through new streets, made new friends. You've challenged yourself, surprise yourself, felt defeated, but kept going. It's a journey, and the culmination of it all starts now.
#PhillyMarathon
Yet again, another amazing experience at the 2019 Philadelphia Marathon Weekend! We are SO honored to do this kind of work. Thank you to everyone involved in the preparation and production of the weekend! Another record breaking year!
