As Long As They Don't Sing The Fight Song On The Course ...
Members of the Texas A&M Corps of Cadets Marathon Team will compete Sunday (Jan. 14) in the 35th annual running of the Chevron Houston Marathon and the Aramco Houston Half Marathon.
Among those cadets will be Christopher Ragan. Diagnosed with cancer in 2004, he will be running the Houston Marathon for the third time.
“I started running after I was diagnosed with cancer and have loved running ever since,” he said.
This year, the Corps Marathon Team has increased in number from 16 last year to 45 cadets participating in this year’s marathon. Corps officials also say it is a special year because the team has new uniforms that they will wear during the race to proudly represent the Corps of Cadets.
