Operation Jack Marathon

DECEMBER 26, 2012

The Operation Jack Marathon & Half Marathon and Satellite Runs are back for 2012! The race was created out of necessity to complete the the 2010 Operation Jack schedule and was intended to be a one-time event. Due to overwhelmingly positive feedback, it has become an annual race benefitting Train 4 Autism and the Operation Jack Autism Foundation.

Train 4 Autism helps people raise money for any autism-related charity. The Operation Jack Autism Foundation serves to benefit autism-related charities, primarily Train 4 Autism, as well as other worthy causes.
