Kevin made the trip to St. Louis to run the Go! St. Louis Marathon for fun and pace his friend Rick MacLean to Boston. Unfortunately the unseasonably warm temperatures forced Race Directors to cut short the marathon and they were unable to achieve their goal.

Also, in her second ever race, Kevin's wife Chris O'Neill finished second in her Age Group!
