Who runs their first marathon at age 54? And then who runs minimally one every month thereafter for what projects to be 50 months so he can cover all 50 states? The answer: Hershey, Pennsylvania man Anthony Fitzgibbons.
Tony met Mandi Wilke and Carrie Miller at the Wausau Marathon Expo in mid August and they asked him if he'd ever run with a pace team before. Tony's response? No, but sounds cool!
The next day, Tony, Mike Hennin, Ken Fattmann and Paul Miller started out as the 5:00 team and it was friendship at first step. For five hours, Tony story told his way through the likes of Wausau, Rib Mountain, Kronenwetter, Schofield, Weston and Rothschild in completing his 24th state.
Since then, he's knocked out Montana. But it was when Tony got a call from Ken and Paul that he showed how into this he is. Although only a week removed from running Big Sky, Tony agreed to come out to run with Ken and Paul at Community First Fox Cities in the 5:30 age group. After a last minute pacer injury? Tony agreed to become an OnPacer. Here how that turns out as we sit with Tony as he shares some of his story.
