"A U.S. serviceman in Afghanistan is running a “shadow race” on the same day as the Aspen Backcountry Marathon on Aug. 27.
A shadow race is where someone runs 26.2 miles on the same day as an established marathon and emails the race directors their results. It is apparently a fairly common practice for troops stationed overseas. This will mark the fifth marathon this particular soldier will have run in Afghanistan. The service member’s name and other information was not available Monday...."
