Kempner grandmother has run 5K and other races in all 50 states; now seeks to run a half-marathon in each state

KEMPNER – Jan Ward had never been a runner before she agreed to enter a half-marathon in Fort Worth with a friend.
Eight years later, the 75-year-old Kempner mother and grandmother has completed races of various distances in all 50 states – and is also more than halfway to her goal of finishing a half-marathon in every state in the country.
“In June 2013, a friend said, ‘I’m going to be 40 in the spring,’” Ward said. “’Let’s do Cowtown half (marathon) as a team for my birthday.’ I thought it would be fun, so I signed up for it. Mind you, I’d never run anything before – only my household.
