2026 Marathon dates
The Spectrum Marathon was discontinued after the 2025 event due to the passing of Kevin's fiancé, Lauren Herring, earlier in the year, after her battle with leukemia.
​
Wanting to raise money for leukemia research, the team is hard at work at retooling the marathon to continue on in her honor. The tentative timeline for subsequent marathons is to have them annually again beginning in February 2027.
