When discussing her role in resurrecting the Pittsburgh Marathon, Patrice Matamoros likes to offer a bit of topical humor.
âIt was like Dorothy in âThe Wizard of Oz,â collecting key people along the Yellow Brick Road,ââ she said with a chuckle, although no one knows if the fabled street of the silver screen stretched for 26.2 miles.
As the new president of Junior Achievement of Western Pennsylvania, Matamoros anticipates the same type of strong teamwork that brought back the Steel Cityâs premiere race following a five-year hiatus.
âIt was really, truly an amazing thing in which many people came together with talent, resources and dedicated their time to making this a success,â she said.
