 | Veronica and Josh are married. Josh ran his first 10k at the age of eight. Dennis worked on salmon boats in Alaska, is an Air Force veteran, and can say the alphabet backwards. John likes to play the blues on his harp in his spare time. He is a bit worried about the swimming section of the course because he only has 4% body fat and sinks like a stone!
