For many runners, it is a dream to run in the Boston Marathon, and for one young man from Red Bud, it became a reality last week.
It is said that only 0.01 percent of the United States population will run a marathon in any given year, so the percentage of those that run in Boston is much less.
Among the runners this year was Nick Fehr.
Fehr is a 2022 graduate of Red Bud High School and currently attends (and runs for) Kaskaskia College. He is the son of Ken and Julie Fehr, who accompanied him for the race.
For more on Fehr, please see this week’s print edition.
