Today was the One City Marathon in Newport News.

Mile marker 13 is dedicated to Luke and his legacy of friendship and athleticism where we set up a water station, the half way point of this incredible race.

It was so nice to see Menchville alum Alejandro, a wonderful friend to Luke, and current XC runner Gracie on the course.

Thank you to the Menchville JROTC cadets for their continued support every year.
