Tabitha Wolfe Continues To Run For A Reason

October 2019

Washington, DC -- Tabitha Wolfe, a fourth grade teacher at Rhea Central Elementary School in Dayton, Tennessee, recently completed a race in Washington DC. The race was the Marine Corps Marathon. This was the 44th year for the race. It's known as the people's race, because it celebrated the honor, courage and commitment of all the finishers. There were marines throughout the race cheering on the runners and runners ran the Blue Mile on a mile 12, which honors all the fallen marines. Pictures of fallen marines and their families lined the route.

From the Marinemarathon.com, the floowing excerpt. "MCM has been recognized as "Best Marathon in the Mid-Atlantic," "Best for Families" and "Best for Beginners." Runners from all 50 states and more than 60 countries participate in the MCM and an annual calendar of events including the Marine Corps Historic Half in Fredericksburg, VA in May and the MCM Event Series conducted aboard Marine Corps Base Quantico. Organized by the men and women of the United States Marine Corps, the MCM is the largest marathon in the world that doesn't offer prize money, instead celebrating the honor, courage and commitment of all finishers."

Tabitha has been running for years and obviously loves running. Tabitha has run in several venues around the United States. Tabitha looks at the races at an opportunity to push herself and not just win or place well. She has chosen to run in some races that have substance and meaning, which is worthwhile to note. The Marine Corps Run and the run in Chattanooga were races to honor fallen military personnel and their families.

Now not all of Tabitha's races are so high profiles causes, but most races are to benefit charities or causes and Tabitha has run in a few.

Tabitha said, "I enjoy running in races that are associated with a good cause and the money goes to help those in need."
