Running in Circles to Raise Money

by Shannon Townley, Coker Office of Marketing and Communications

Hartsville, SC – Coker College Men and Women’s Cross Country teams are gearing up to race their first annual Marathon Relay Friday, April 4, beginning at 3:30 p.m. The Coker runners will be circling the Byerly Park track approximately 105 times or 26.2 miles, in order to raise money for their current spring track season. Each runner will be collecting sponsorships for the team at minimum of $5 ($0.19 per mile).

It’s not often you can support the collegiate running fanatics without traveling great distances, so consider stopping by for any or all of the marathon these athletes will collectively run. Among the participating runners will be: Abel Cabello, Adam Green, Joe Hock, Michael Koshis, Mike Murphy, Nichole Coke, Dana Daves, Amy Jones, Adriana Ochoa, Kendyl Seawright, Marissa Shinkovich, Shannon Townley, and Angela Williams.

Donations are currently being accepted. If you are interested in sponsoring a runner or making a general donation, contact head cross country coach Ley Fletcher at 843-383-8190 (office) or email lfletcher@coker.edu.
