Runners across the globe are dedicating their daily runs to a Raleigh mother of three who was fatally shot while running last week. A North Carolina teen is accused of killing five people and injuring two.
A four-time Boston Marathon finisher and beloved member of several local running groups, Karnatz is remembered by her friends and family as “a beacon of strength,” the “rock of her family” and “a role model” for fellow moms. She worked as a school psychologist before pausing to homeschool her three sons, ages 14, 13 and 10. The boys often joined their parents on short runs, which their friends described as a family affair.
“We had plans together for big adventures,” Tom Karnatz wrote in a Facebook post. “And plans together for the mundane days in between. ... Now those plans are laid to waste.”The #RunforSue posts — some from friends and many more from complete strangers — have been a bright spot in an otherwise devastating week.
Just before Threadgill pinned on his red and white bib for Sunday’s Bull City Race Fest, a half marathon in nearby Durham, the Cary resident grabbed a black marker and inscribed his bib with “SBK” for Susan Butler Karnatz.He spent the weekend recalling fond memories of Karnatz, like when they ran with her kids in the club’s February social run from one Snoopy’s Hot Dogs to another.
Blasting “the ultimate pump-up song” — Metallica’s “Master of Puppets” — out the car windows, Eireann strapped on her rollerblades and a skull helmet as her mom drove them to the trailhead. They made their way up the mountain to a ski resort, passing horseback riders and fellow runners before stopping to reflect at a covered bridge.As a fellow mother of three, McDonough, 47, said she always looked to Karnatz as a role model.
