Newton Natural Running Workshop at EXPO!
1pm at the Expo 11/9/13
Juda McGannon, educator for Newton Running will be at the Expo at 1pm on Saturday.
Newton running starts with good posture, an athletic position and continues with an efficient
cadence of 170 to 190 steps/minute. Done properly, running feels easier and your feet seem at
one with the ground. You are making better use of the proper running muscles and the elastic component of running. The end result is a run that feels more efficient, intuitive, relaxed,
natural and less stressful. Juda will talk about how you can improve your running form by
taking you through some drills which create body awareness and improve mechanics. Newton demo shoes will be on hand to try out before, during or after the clinic.
2013 Marathon Art Poster - Marcia Cline Artist 2013
Marcia Cline - Visit our Art Booth at the Expo!
Local Artist Marcia Cline is the chosen artist for the 2013 Marathon painting.
Visit the Art Booth at the EXPO to see the beautiful original painting and to
purchase a signed & numbered print. Marcias painting this year conveys the
beauty of the course and one of the challenges that each runner will overcome
on their way to the Finish Line.
Marcia Cline’s work is vibrant, using bold fluid oils depicting subjects from
tropical themes to local Outer Banks Cottages, each painting seeks to engage
the viewer within it. People say Cline’s work “makes them feel happy”, and
that’s actually her intent.
Born in Maryland, 1961 Marcia has always created. She studied art extensively throughout her school years.
Marcia attended University of North Carolina, Wilmington where she studied Fine Art emphasizing oil painting and
printmaking. She moved to the Outer Banks in 1981 and since then has been a local artist of some renown. Nature is
her biggest inspiration and en plein air is her favorite expression.
Marcia has 2 children who are her greatest students and teachers. She also teaches Yoga, surfs, adores travel and
strives each day to gratefully show up for life.
