Special Guest:

We are excited to welcome Peter Kline from Seattle, Washington to the 2020 Wendell Foster Half Marathon presented by Owensboro Health. Peter is the founder of the “Marathons with Meaning” campaign, where he has completed over 100 marathons, with nearly half of them being completed by pushing someone with a disability. Plus, he has completed a couple of 100-mile races while pushing people with disabilities!

Peter will be speaking a couple of times (times listed below), followed by a “fun run” on March 13 at our race’s expo. He will also be racing with everyone in our half marathon while pushing someone in our “Running Stroller Division.”
