Army Ten-Miler Scheduled For October 7th
October 5, 2007
Breaking News 10/08/07: A runner from Fairfax County died Sunday during the Army Ten-Miler race near the finish line at the Pentagon.
The runner collapsed about 10:40 a.m. about 200 yards from the finish line, said Col. Jim Yonts. Arlington County medics responded immediately and took the runner to George Washington University Hospital.
The cause of death was not known. Yonts said he did not know the runner’s age. The runner was a civilian, not a member of the military, he said. At this time, the name of the deceased has not been released. Please keep this runner and his/her family in your thoughts and prayers.

This is the third in a series of three press releases I’ve posted on the Army 10-Miler. If you recall a couple weeks back I had been contacted by Roxana Hoveyda and been sent the Press Release about the 3rd ID Wives that are running in honor of their deployed spouses. Then last week, Roxana sent me the press release on the Missing Parts In Action team of Wounded Warriors who would be running in the race as well. Roxana has sent me a 3rd Press Release, which I’ll share with you all here. One thing that I’d like to point out, which I’ve bolded in the Press Release, is that some of our Troops, at Camps Victory, Taji and Al Asad are also running and will hold a Press Conference via live video conference and discuss about the difficulties they encountered training for the race in the middle of a Warzone. That newsconference is today. Tune in if you can!
