Chris Boundy

With no athletic experience as a kid and a messed up family background, I was out of shape and overweight until my early twenties. I started running a little just for fitness but soon realized that I could go much longer. I ran my first marathon - New York City - in 2005 and then committed to running them consistently after that. By 2011 I had started traveling for races and working towards a marathon in every U.S. state, which I completed in 2015. By then I had also started expanding to international marathons, eventually completing all seven continents with the Antarctic Ice Marathon in 2022. Since 2022 I have continued running as many new countries as possible while also working towards a second round of the 50 states and all 50 under four hours. My overall goal is to run and visit as many places in the world as possible.
