Published: March 8, 2023, 6 a.m.

77 year old Sid Busch has run 205 FULL marathons and 836 HALF marathons!\xa0 That is OVER 16,000 miles, enough to run across the United States mainland MORE THAN FIVE TIMES!

Senior Chief Sid Busch, US Navy Ret., is a valued friend of ours and a real Patriot.\xa0 To Sid, every day is Memorial Day and a time to honor our Veterans, especially the Fallen Heroes.\xa0 Most weekends, Sid runs either a full marathon or half marathon, usually carrying a flag, to honor a fallen hero.\xa0 After the race, he makes a very emotional presentation of his finisher's medal to the family.\xa0 Sid has been heard to say "I have running shoes three times older than some of the kids I run for."

In addition to his marathon endeavors, (he's an extraordinary athlete), he continues to volunteer on the USS Clamagore at Patriots Point in Mt. Pleasant, SC.\xa0 It is one of the submarines on which he served.\xa0 He's been a frequent contributor to the site and a valued source. \xa0
