Marc-André (Marco) M.

A member since November 2011, Marco is an avid runner, having completed two half-marathons and one marathon in the National Capital Race weekend. A love for running developed during his university days after he spent a summer with the Governor General's Footguards, becoming addicted to the early-morning 5:00 am runs. These days, the Saturday 9:00 am runs are a piece of cake!

The cool fall days are Marco's favourite time of the year, when the temperature is just cool enough that you are not overheating and you feel that you can keep running forever.

Every year, Marco looks forward to the National Capital Race weekend. This premiere running event draws thousands of runners and spectators alike to Ottawa each May. Nothing motivates you better than a large crowd cheering you on as you reach the finish line by City Hall or of little kids along the route giving you "high-fives" when you have reached the runner's wall!

Marco's next challenge is to complete a marathon in under 4 h. Good luck Marco!
