‘It’s jaw-dropping’: Fox Cities Marathon will be the 2,000th marathon for Hobart man
Posted by Miron Construction
Henry Rueden isn’t as fast as he used to be, but it isn’t slowing him down much.
The 74-year-old from Hobart, who has been a fixture on the running scene for decades, keeps putting one foot in front of the other.
If there’s a marathon, chances are Rueden has done it.
He’s completed a marathon in all 50 states — 23 times — on all seven continents, and in all of the Canadian and Australian provinces and territories.
He ran the Great Wall of China Marathon, ran along the Berlin Wall in Germany and even ran a marathon in Iraq while on active duty in the United States Army Reserve.
