Des Linden to Run Western States

Theo Kahler For Runner’s World:

Brooks, Linden’s longtime sponsor, told Runner’s World that she is not retiring from running altogether, though. According to the brand, Linden will become more involved in ultramarathons and trail races. She’s slated to pace Brooks athlete Joe McConaughy at the Western States 100-Mile in June.

Today Des ran her last Boston and last competitive road marathon, but she’ll be on pacing duties later this year at Western States. Will be fun to see how she does and what comes after for her.
