EagleBio Participates in 3rd Annual Gate City Marathon and Relay

by Eagle Biosciences


                 EagleBio Senior Team 

EagleBio participated in the 3rd annual Gate City Marathon & Relay on Sunday, May 21, 2017.  This is EagleBio’s 3rd year participating with a relay team full of rock stars!! Our group ran in the race as a 5 leg relay on a 26.2-mile course that took runners past historic former mills, rivers, parks and neighborhoods. 

This team once again amazed their fans and trimmed off 27 minutes from last year’s time! What a race day it was with fantastic weather, great course, helpful officials, and supportive crowd!

We were also very lucky to have a 2nd relay team again this year, the Junior EagleBio Team: NYOKO! This team was outstanding, they won FIRST PLACE out of all the relay teams and yes they beat the senior team above (by a lot)!

Great job, NYOKO!

EagleBio Junior Team proud of their medals and it is a true reflection of their hard work!


These boys run for two different middle schools and have been racing against each other at the local, state, regional, and even national level for years and finally got a chance to join forces running as EagleBio Junior Team.

Even when they are not running on the same team they motivate each other on the course and help each other to reach their goals. This is a group of talented young runners who truly enjoy the sport and they are an inspiration to other runners young and old!

They ran hard during the Gate City Marathon and Relay and had a ball in a true spirit of competition and friendship. They placed second with a time of 2:46:19!

Outstanding job to both our teams, we are so very proud of you!
