Marathon Mettle

Today is Marathon Sunday. Top runners from around the world are competing under runner-friendly skies in New York City. Molly Seidel, the American who won Bronze in the Tokyo olympics, is out to prove her medal wasn't a fluke. However, there is one runner in the mix who is not a household name, but who returns to the New York City Marathon after twenty years.

Kellie Kenny, a dedicated marathoner and former employee of both Cantor Fitzgerald and Baseline, recently regained the emotional courage to re-enter this NYC race after an inspirational finish in 2001. The 2001 NYC Marathon was soon after Kellie had lost scores of friends and colleagues on 9/11. Despite the utter grief and despair of that infamous day, Kellie maintained her training regimen that year. Not only did she compete and finish with a respectable time, but she also adorned herself with 26 flags for 26 lost friends - one flag for each mile-marker. She is hailed in the pages of Undaunted.
