This year we were proud sponsors of the Pittsburgh Marathon. We had the pleasure of meeting Patrice Matamoros last summer and she got us involved as technology/mapping sponsors. Not only was it a pretty cool thing to know that we contributed to the success of this great event, but we also got the VIP treatment, from a party at Enginehouse 25 in Pittsburgh’s Lawrenceville neighborhood to a VIP tent at the finish line of the race.
Unfortunately, due to injuries (two stress fractures for me), there weren’t any Deeplocalers participating in the race this, but our good friend, Scott Bricker from BikePgh ran his first half-marathon with an excellent time- way to go Scott!
Nathan often talks about the important role that running has and continues to have in his life. For me, running (or other forms of exercise) makes me feel in control of my life, even if everything else is unpredictable and fast-changing. If I’m having a bad day, I can still go out and have a great run.
With that, we look forward to sponsoring and hopefully also participating in the Dicks Sporting Goods Pittsburgh Marathon again next year!
