"Since joining Glen Ellyn Runners I have improved at all distances tremendously. After running several marathons training alone, the group really helped push me, encourage me and support me. I had wanted to qualify for the Boston Marathon for years. Last year I finally did and I really feel it is because I run with the Glen Ellyn Runners."
