Corey Birdsong, 21 of Arlington. A solider in the U.S. Army, Corey is currently stationed in Washington. For the past couple of years he has done the Pikes Peak Marathon (where the idea you run 13 miles to the top of Pikes Peak, hyperventilate, and then stagger down) We welcome Cory into the area & the club, and look forward to running with him.
