For a very long time, Marc Walker of Reno has been very interested in fitness. He has spent a good deal of his life dedicated to making sure that his body stays in top condition. After all, he is a law enforcement officer with an eye toward professionalism, and that means staying in shape so that he can do his job efficiently and well.

This year, Marc Walker of Reno is thrilled to have completed his first half-marathon on February 3, 2013 at the Surf City Marathon in Huntington Beach, California. This was a major milestone for Marc Walker of Reno, but he's not interested in stopping there. This upcoming late spring and summer, Marc Walker of Reno is looking to participate in the Reno Tahoe Odyssey as well as the Tough Mudder endurance competitions.

The 9th annual Reno Tahoe Odyssey endurance race will be held on May 30th through June 1st. It is a 178-mile course run by a team of individuals that travels through Truckee, Reno, and South Lake Tahoe. In July, he will also be participating in the Tough Mudder, a 10-12 mile endurance run that has a very demanding obstacle course. It will be hosted at the Northstar Resort in Tahoe on July 31st.

"I love participating in team-oriented fitness events," Marc Walker was quoted as saying when asked about his interest in these endurance tests. "Not only do they challenge you to push your body to the limits, but they also make you rely on and support your teammates through the race. It's a fantastic feeling to be part of a group of dedicated individuals."

These tests of endurance will no doubt be difficult to get through, but Marc Walker of Reno is confident that he and his team will do very well in both races. "We might not win, but our goal is to finish strong. That's about all a team member could ask," Marc Walker of Reno says.
