LEGACY RUNNER SPOTLIGHT: SHEILA COOK

When asked what she loves about the running lifestyle she replied "First of all, I love to run. I’ve been running most of my life. I actually don’t do many road races at all. Only a couple a year, and the BCS is one of them. I mostly do ultramarathons on trails. In fact, currently training for my first (and probably last) 200 mile trail race at the end of September. When I first heard about the BCS race, I had to sign up. I’m an Aggie and it was in Aggieland! Then I learned about the wonderful cause this race supports."

When asked what her favorite memory of the College Station Marathon is she replied "My favorite memory is coming into the finish line and seeing all those beautiful children this race has helped. Every time I get chills and the happy tears flow. I can’t imagine not being a part of this race. "

That is exactly what the BCS Race Series is all about. ❤️

Sheila, we are so grateful you’ve made the BCS Race Series part of your running journey—and we can’t imagine this race without YOU!

Help us celebrate Sheila and all of our amazing Legacy Runners as we count down to our 15th Anniversary! 🎉

What makes a Legacy Runner?

Maybe it’s running year after year.
Maybe it’s bringing your family.
Maybe it’s running every distance.
Maybe it’s volunteering, cheering or simply showing up.

Whatever your story, YOU are part of our legacy. ❤️

🎉Today we want to feature Legacy Runner and inaugural BCS Half Marathon champion, Gustavo Román Jr. 🎉

Gus has completed 13 marathons, including a PR of 2:36 at the 2026 Boston Marathon, and 42 half marathons with a PR of 1:12.

When asked what inspires him to run marathons, Gustavo said, "The marathon is the most honest distance in running. It lays bare everything you've done, and everything you haven't, both in training and in life. There's nowhere to hide, and I love that. Life is harder for so many people than any marathon, so it's my favorite distance to show who I am and what I'm about."

Thank you, Gus, for 14 years of BCS Marathon/Half participation.

A relay team consisting of 4 or 8 members will complete the entire marathon course. Runners within a 4-member team will each run approximately 6.5 miles and runners of 8-member teams will run around 3.3 miles of the course. Each leg could vary slightly.
