Linda Kovacs Chair, Social Events & Sponsorship St. John

I have been a resident of St. John for 25 years and began running because of a family vacation to go snow skiing. My family told me I had to do some kind of exercise to get in shape for the trip. I chose running and I have my husband Joe and my two daughters Amy and Anne to thank for it.

My first race was in 1998, the Duneland YMCA Flurry Scurry 5K, and I have continued to run because it is good for my health. There are a lot of heart problems in my family and it keeps extra weight off.

I have been a Strider Member for 10 year and this is my 9th year participating in the Gold Cup Series. I have done 6 marathons and qualified for Boston at three.

Part of my responsibilities on the board include helping with the picnic and the Christmas Party. Last year I helped with the beginning runner program at St. John. I also was on the committee for the long distance series.
