To highlight a couple of these active Danes, you can read about Jesper Lykke, Trine Nielsen and Kris Binder’s

great accomplishments below.

Trine Nielsen completed her first marathon in March 2009. It was the ING Georgia Marathon, which she ran with

a couple of girlfriends and finished in 3 hours and 56 minutes. Congratulations!

Jesper Lykke finished his second marathon in the same race in 4 hours and 5 minutes.

He is now training for the Chicago marathon in October 2009. He also ran the Jingle Jog back in December 2008

with his daughter Maja.

Jesper runs every Saturday morning with a small group of early-riser-Danes by the Chattahoochee River near

Powers Ferry Road. The scenic route is 5 km long and it's up to each runner how many laps he/she will run.
