Three smiling women wearing medals after completing the Publix Georgia Half Marathon outdoors in the city.

Laura Stokes

Hometown: Marietta, GA

Races Completed: 19 half marathons

Favorite Memory: Favorite memory was when my son ran the half marathon in 2014. We ran together until he finished and then I continued on to complete the marathon. Second favorite was 2025 when I had my best time for the marathon at age 63.

Most Difficult Obstacle: My youngest son was born by C Section on Dec 20, 2012. That left me very little time to recover from a C Section and train for the half marathon, but I did it!

Honoring the Streak: I have the medal from each race hanging on two medal displays in my home. Looking forward to number 20!
