                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. CHERI BUSTOS

                              of illinois

                    in the house of representatives

                        Friday, August 13, 2021

  Mrs. BUSTOS. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor the TBK Quad Cities 
Marathon for bringing together thousands of athletes, volunteers and 
speculators to the Moline region. The event was selected as a winner of 
the 2020 Governor's Hometown Project Award for the positive impact it 
had in the community.
  The TBK Quad Cities Marathon, a USATF certified course and great 
Boston Marathon qualifier, offers some of the most beautiful views of 
the Mississippi River. The 26.2 mile run covers four cities and two 
states in the Quad Cities region. Run by more than 1,400 volunteers, it 
is a weekend full of activities that celebrates the accomplishments of 
these dedicated runners. I applaud the TBK Quad Cities Marathon for 
their philanthropic work and showcasing the very best of the Moline 
community.
  I am especially proud to serve Illinois' 17th Congressional District 
with community leaders like TBK Quad Cities Marathon. Madam Speaker, I 
would like to again formally honor the TBK Quad Cities Marathon for 
their contributions to the community and to congratulate them for 
receiving the 2020 Governor's Hometown Project Award.
