We welcomed many new members to the Six Star Finisher Club (981 to be exact), including one special entrant who began her journey back in 2001, and has experienced a few highs along the way!
Most people will be familiar with her as a former holder of the US marathon record, Olympic bronze medalist, and past winner of the Chicago and London Marathons, but Deena has always been such a huge supporter of the Six Star program that it filled us with real pride to be able to welcome her into the club at the BMW BERLIN-MARATHON in September. And as a special treat, we even gave her her own podcast!
After finally earning her medal, she said: “It’s more special than I had imagined. I think it’s more special than any individual medal that I have hanging at home. From the moment I laced up my shoes to posing with a Six Star medal 42km later, the Berlin Marathon over-delivered.”
We’re so proud to continue working with Deena and we’re excited for what 2023 has to come.
