Marathon Runners

Dec-13-2008 » Filed Under: 2/25 SBCT

A group of 2/25 SBCT spouses will run in the Honolulu Marathon on Sunday while their deployed loved ones participate in a satellite marathon in Iraq.

The couples will endure the 26.2-mile run, much like they've endured their time apart and life's responsibilities — their careers, raising children — since the 2nd Stryker Brigade Combat Team, 25th Infantry Division deployed a year ago.

The wives will be running in the 36th Honolulu Marathon while their husbands will be running in the marathon's Iraq satellite event.

"My husband said he would not have kept it (running) up if I had not been running," first-time marathoner Genny Collins, 33, said of Lt. Commander Mark Collins.
