Marine Corps Marathon....10/28....Audi to be pace cars and more...
Marc (who is with the PCA of QCUSA) has made the following announcement...so I wanted to post here to let the TT gang know and hopefully for those of you near Washington DC can join us. Yes, the gathering is at the Pentagon and makes if even more special for me. Here is what Marc posted....
As some of you may know Audi, is the title sponsor for the Marine Corp Marathon.
