The 35th Chicago Marathon 
The 35th Chicago Marathon  10.15.2012 Press Coverage

But no matter where we were on the course, the volunteers and assembled spectators were invariably rowdy and incredibly supportive.  Chicagoans, for the most part, genuinely seem to embrace the marathon and its runners, and I’m told that Marathon Sunday in October is practically a city-wide holiday.  Upon seeing my medal, several people on the street afterward were quick to smile and tell me “great job, congratulations!”Read More

Alexandria's Brooke Curran on Winning the Antarctica Marathon 4.02.2012 Press Coverage

There is no Antarctica Marathon, of course — not in the sense that there is a Boston Marathon or a New York Marathon or a London Marathon.

    Seven Continents Club

The Race of His Life
The Race of His Life 4.10.2005 Press Coverage
    Seven Continents Club

Thom Gilligan read the e-mail and shook his head in disbelief. Here was yet another applicant for the 2005 Last Marathon, the extraordinary race in Antarctica that Gilligan had conceived a decade ago. No surprise there; while the event had been closed out for more than a year, adventure-minded runners were still begging for a chance. The shock was that this guy, 47-year-old William Tan of Singapore, proposed to do the 26.2 miles of loose rock, glacial streams, and ice in a wheelchair - a feat never attempted, never suggested in the previous six editions of the race.
