Tania (@this_phoenix_runs on Instagram). gave us a fantastic episode about the MCM weekend. She’s back for a bonus discussion that we wanted to share this week from the time when we stopped recording, but there was so much more to share!
The Penguin Award at Marine Corps Marathon
It’s in honor of Maj. Megan McClung (KIA 2006)— it symbolizes the belief that finishing is what matters in this or any race! Here is a link to a video that highlights this award and its history:
https://www.marines.mil/News/Marines-TV/videoid/490355/dvpTag/run/.
It is called that, as the video says, because Megan was reading and following John Bingham, who we have seen on several documentaries like Spirit of the Marathon. John Bingham had a website called the Penguin Chronicles, and people can find out more about him at http://www.johnbingham.com.
We found the 2023 winner of the award on https://www.dvidshub.net/image/8094953/48th-marine-corps-marathon-penguin-award. We have requested permission to use the photo in this episode’s artwork.
