The start of 2018 is just a few weeks away and with that comes new beginnings, new chances and new opportunities. Also coming in 2018 is the 4th annual Newport News One City Marathon! In January, Newport News Now is starting a series titled “Marathon Mondays” where various participants and partners will be featured each week leading up to the race. 

We hope these spotlights bring you insights and personal perspectives on why people participate in the marathon and what it means to them. Whether it's running, volunteering, cheering or sponsoring, every participant in One City Marathon is important. To learn more about how you can get involved with the race or to register to run the 8k, relay or marathon, visit www.onecitymarathon.com and be sure to check out Newport News Now every Monday beginning January 8 to read the special features.
