Neither Caryn nor Steve Langen are self-proclaimed runners, but since Alec’s passing they began training with a new non-profit they created in his memory, Running 4 AlecFor Steve and Caryn Langen, it is as if their life’s mission shifted overnight and they didn’t have a choice.

“Alec loved that helicopter, he loved the grease, he loved fixing it, he loved riding in it, sitting on the tail right there,” Caryn said as she looked at the CH-53E. “So seeing it, that’s the first thing we both said to each other, let’s go say hi.” “We looked up the first run that we could do and like 10 weeks out and this was it. I just kind of felt like it was the right thing to do,” Caryn said.

Caryn and Steve Langen embrace each other after crossing the finish line at MCAS Miramar on June 22, 2024.
