Aaron's Running Story

How Many Marathons Have You Run?

Marathon running, actually, as it turns out, is not as common as golfing or fishing. Few people run a single marathon in their lifetime (I've heard that it's about 1% of Americans), let alone more than one in a year (or a weekend).

When people ask me how many marathons I've run, I'm often a little bashful or even embarrassed. But here's the thing: I know people (and I look up to people) who have run three, five, even ten times as many marathons as I have. Truth.

As of July 2026, I've completed 109 (live) marathons in 45 US States; two in Germany and England, and one each in Canada and Italy:

I've also completed several "back-yard" or virtual marathons, and I've put in some long miles pacing friends who were attempting or completing stupid long runs, but I only including in my count officially sanctioned events with a measured course and a timekeeper.
