Jason McGhee

I took up running in the fall of 2006 to enforce my decision to stop smoking. I ran my first half marathon, White Rock, in December of 2006 - it hurt. I ran my first full marathon, Berlin, in September of 2007 - it hurt more. I have since run 10 more full marathons (last was the Cowtown in February 2009) and many half marathons.

I got involved with the DRC shortly after I started running and directed the 2007 and 2008 DRC The Loop 15K/5K races. I am now the DRC Race Management Director for 2009-2010 and enjoy working with everyone to put on the DRC's great and rapidly growing monthly races.
