Artist Shane Hargest has been involved with Athletes Serving Athletes (ASA) for quite awhile now, and has participated in multiple races. (Make Studio staffer Terri and board member Abbie coincidentally have also run with ASA!)
This past year these included two 5Ks and the strenuous Charles Street 12-Miler, only his second race, which started at the Shops at Kenilworth up town and concluded downtown at Ravens Stadium. Shane completed the race in 1 hours and 49 minutes with multiple assistant athletes by his side, and said that it was “like nothing else I have ever been a part of.”
One of Shane’s lifelong goals has been to run a marathon, and this October it finally happened when he completed the Baltimore Running Festival marathon! He finished the marathon with a really quick team, and a final time of 4 hours and 34 minutes.
“I enjoy being out of my element and running with ASA makes me feel like a ‘real runner’. I like the social aspects and the camaraderie in the chatting on the runs. And although I am not a morning person, and for ASA I have to be there really early in the morning, I do enjoy seeing the beautiful sunrises on those early a.m. runs. We use train out of White Marsh, MD. I would like to do the Bay Bridge Run, but my mom won’t let me!”
We are excited to see where Shane goes next on his running journey, and are always ready to cheer him on!
