"I adore Marathon High, it makes me feel like I'm a part of something bigger than myself. I feel involved in my community, as if I'm running for a purpose besides myself. Exercise has been a huge part of my life, but now, I feel like it is my life. After every run, I feel fantastic; I feel like I'm on cloud nine. Marathon High has shown me how much support you can receive, as well as how much support can be given to others. I love Marathon High, it has already changed my life." ~MH student
