Record Day for Soleful Athletes at Marine Corps Historic Half

The May 2024 Marine Corps Marathon in downtown Fredericksburg, Virginia was one for the record books this year, with multiple Soleful athletes participating.

This event was one of many races Soleful athletes are competing in this year and saw several highlights as runners crossed the finish line, including:

Carla earned a half marathon PR and is on her path to running her first full marathon — Marine Corps — in October 2025.

Carol returned to running with this race, crushing the hilly 13.1 mile course after a pause on running for several years.

Kimberly crossed many finish lines this year already, she is training for her first marathon — Marine Corps — in October of this year and her countless races put her on the path for a Distinguished Participant medal, an honor awarded by the Marine Corps Marathon for athletes who completed a select number of races in one calendar year.

Soleful’s own Michelle Pais also raced this event, setting a personal record and earning a 6th place age group finish.
