Wantagh Woman Completes First Marathon Run Sunday

While this past Sunday's New York City Marathon was cancelled due to Superstorm Sandy, one Wantagh woman decided to still run 26.2 miles that day in tribute to those who have donated to her charitable cause.

Jacqui Koplik of Wantagh completed her first marathon distance run Sunday as an appreciation for those who have donated on her behalf to the EJ Autism Foundation. With some company from her husband Joe and a few of her running buddies along the way, Koplik fulfilled her quest. Koplik's marathon run took her from from North Wantagh south to Cedar Creek Park and then down the Wantagh Parkway Bike Path before heading back north through northern parts of Seaford.
