My Summer as an Ambassador for the SF Marathon - by Kennedy

My Summer as an Ambassador for the San Francisco Marathon

by Kennedy Schoennauer
July 2017


Our super fun race weekend began with the amazing Marathon Race Expo. Since my sister and I are Ambassadors for the San Fransisco Marathon, we helped out at the Berkeley Half Marathon booth where we talked with lots of people.


As we enjoyed helping people sign up, we received a wonderful FitBits, Jaybird earbuds and water bottles, and an ambassador helper shirt. Everyone was thankful for our help and kindness.

We were really exited for the half marathon so we took lots of pictures to recollect our memories in the future. Also, since this was the 40th anniversary for the race, it was an important race year.


The morning of the race, we woke up around 3:30 in the morning and enjoyed the warm car. It was cold in the morning and, since it was cold, I had my soft blanket by my side.


Before it was our turn to start running, we gathered with Run 365 (the team my mom coaches). We said, "good morning" to everyone we know and got prepared for the race.


As we waited in the crowd, our nerves grew and many people asked us what ambassador do. We explained what we do and the benefit's of helping others. Also, we told lots of people good luck.





This is us on the bridge. We laughed because of all the fog this year.


I was tired...not grumpy. It was a great race. The weather was just perfect!
