Junior active-duty enlisted members, E-1 to E-4, who are interested in receiving a donated entry are asked to submit a short paragraph to Katie Klein, Air Force Marathon office administrator, at kathryn.klein.2@us.af.mil, explaining why they are interested in participating in this year’s marathon. The deadline to submit a request is May 23.
Responses received to date range from improving race time, maintaining physical fitness after weight loss and challenging themselves both physically and mentally.
