Emma Bates Finds Higher Cause To Drive Her In Marathon Debut

(c) 2018 Race Results Weekly, all rights reserved SACRAMENTO (30-Nov) -- When Emma Bates lines up for her marathon debut at the California International Marathon here on Sunday, she won't be wearing the colorful kit of a shoe company or running club like the rest of the elite women competing in what is also the annual USATF Marathon Championships.  Instead, she'll wear a singlet which says "Run for Camp Fire Relief," trying to raise awareness --and money-- for the victims of the devastating wildfire which leveled the town of Paradise about 75 miles north of here and has so far claimed 88 lives.
