As a proud member of the St. George Marathon Legacy Club, 52-year-old Idonna Clarke, mother of six children and grandmother of 5, is shooting for her 24th marathon later this year. Idonna’s first exposure to a marathon was at the age of 12 in Los Angeles, where she distributed water cups to runners. As a rising freshman at Brigham Young University, she chose a poster of the St. George marathon to decorate her dorm room. Years later, at the age of 33, Idonna decided she wanted to take on something unique and fun and selected a marathon. As many athletes with 23 marathons under their belt can relate, Idonna has overcome multiple health obstacles, including cardiac, pulmonary, and auto-immune issues. Through it all, Idonna has no regrets and has inspired many of her family members to follow her lead.
