Tyler Rose Marathon
Tyler Rose Marathon
This year, for the first time ever, Tyler will have its very own full length marathon, courtesy of Mellew Productions!  Though it is still a few months away, I am just too excited about this to keep quiet about it any longer.  Plus, training for a marathon is no easy feat, so the earlier you can...
