Degree's newly introduced Not Done Yet Marathon Team was devised to give marathon runners the motivation and the second chance they need to complete the 26.2-mile run at the 2022 San Francisco Marathon. With this challenge, Degree is recognizing that self-doubt is often what holds people back and an inspiring team of athletes have been chosen to lead the way.
Sagirah Ahmed Norris started running after losing her father and shortly after was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis, yet Sagirah sought out an alternative treatment that has given her the ability to keep running. Unable to complete her last marathon attempt, Sagirah will be running the San Francisco Marathon. Michael Zampella and Ashley Zirkle are also on the Not Done Yet Marathon Team, each with incredible stories and goals of their own.
