This is the midway point of our Year In Review.
From a numbers standpoint, for us here at Volte, The Woodlands Marathon still slightly eclipses the Tunnel Light Marathon, but from a performance perspective: Tunnel Light is right on par with Houston.
A little more than eight years ago, Sandra Tezino and Laura Godfrey were guided by event pacer Scott Sebelsky to both personal bests and Boston qualifiers of 3:39:18 and 3:39:34, respectively, in the 2016 event and since then Volte has made itself at home there.
There's been seven runnings of the race since then, not including 2020, of course, and in five of those years, Volte has taken 10 or more runners to North Bend, Washington - not even counting all of the community friends that have come along or that we've met there.
Volte has posted 102 marathon finishes from 70 different runners.
Personal bests have been recorded 46 times by 38 different runners.
And there's been 50 times one of 34 different runners has returned to Texas - and a couple elsewhere - with a Boston Qualifier.
Tezino, Judith Albarran and Tammy Grado are petitioning for their own shuttle service as each have four finishes there.
All four of Sandra's marathon finishes have resulted in Boston Qualifiers, while Judith has a BQ and three PR's and Tammy, whose four includes a half marathon finish, has a pair of BQ's and PR's.
Both of their photos from one of those finishes has graced the Volte public Facebook page you're seeing this post at.
Several more runners have made the trip two or three times.
As you can see, Tunnel Light makes the summer work we do worthwhile.
