6 MARATHONS.
6 CONTINENTS.

Consistency across the world.
Six marathons, six continents, one remarkably tight performance window — summarized across the complete 6×6 series.
FOR MOM.
My Mom, Rose Marie, was always my WHY.
Her extraordinary strength, faith and determination shaped the way I approach running — and life. She taught me to keep putting one foot in front of the other and always keep moving forward.
Before she passed, Mom challenged me to think beyond everything I had already accomplished in running and ask whether there was still one enormous goal out there — something that almost seemed unattainable.
I called it my Stairway to Heaven Goal. That conversation became Project Sub-3:20. I carried her with me to Tokyo, where I ran 3:18:43 and made that goal a reality.
But Tokyo wasn't the end of the journey. In 2026, I’m taking her spirit around the world — racing across six continents, pursuing an eight-city Abbott World Marathon Majors sweep, and continuing the road toward my 100th marathon. Every starting line, every difficult mile and every finish line is another opportunity to honor the remarkable legacy she left our family.
Six continents. Eight Majors. One unforgettable year. One reason bigger than running.

SIX-STAR MEDAL.
London was more than another finish line. It marked a fifth Abbott World Marathon Majors Six-Star Medal and another chapter in a journey built on perseverance, consistency, and choosing to stay in the fight.
Feature idea: add your London finish photo, medal shot, Six-Star tent interview, and a short personal reflection here.

Road to the 8-City Sweep.
The 2026 challenge goes beyond six continents. The goal is to complete an eight-city Abbott World Marathon Majors sweep in a single year.
Road to 100 Marathons.
The global tour is part of an even longer journey. After decades of racing, marathon No. 100 is now within sight.
A lifetime of miles, memories, people and places — with the next chapter still being written.
