Rebecca Gartrell was always looking for her next big goal. The San Antonio-based ultrarunner had completed many 100-mile races, along with an Ironman, and she had also run a Boston-qualifying time in the marathon.
So when she informed her husband, Keith, and best friend, Rebecca Reeves, that she wanted to journey across the entire state of Texas on foot, they were unfazed. But neither expected Rebecca to not come home from her challenge.
On February 7, Rebecca’s body was found on the side of the road after a driver had hit her and continued on without stopping to render aid or call for help. She was 48 years old.
