Adam Wytko was first introduced to running when he joined his high school cross-country team to stay in shape for wrestling. Soon after, he started running road races. His first road race was the 1996 Youngstown (Ohio) Peace Race 10k, and he's run it every year since. As high school was coming to a close, Adam was looking for a sport he could do throughout college and beyond. He ran his first marathon the day before he graduated high school, and was hooked. Early in college he set the goal of finishing a marathon in each of the 50 states before he turned 30. He has achieved this goal and now boasts over 60 marathon finishes, including:

• 60 Marathon Finishes, including at least 1 in each state.
• 3 Boston Marathon Finishes
• 1 Pikes Peak Marathon Finish
• Marathons on back-to-back days (Fargo, ND on Saturday then Green Bay, WI on Sunday)
• 100 miles in under 24 hours (and the belt buckle to prove it!)

His short term goal is to run a sub-2:50 marathon. In the long term, he would like to run at least one marathon every year for the rest of his life.
