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 February 2026, I've completed 103 (live) marathons in 44 US States; two in Germany, and one each in Canada, England and Italy:

fourteen in Massachusetts
ten in Washington
six in Vermont
five in New Hampshire
four each in North Carolina, Maine and Illinois
three each in Rhode Island, Connecticut, Virginia/Washington, DC and Pennsylvania
two each in South Carolina, Indiana, Georgia, Texas, Wisconsin, and Florida
one each in Idaho, West Virginia, California, Kentucky, Mississippi, Arkansas, Maryland, Wyoming, Ohio, Michigan, Nevada, New York, Alabama, New Mexico, Arizona, New Jersey, Ontario, Lousiana, Colorado, Oregon, North Dakota, South Dakota, Alaska, Iowa and Nebraska
two in Germany
one each in Canada, England and Italy

Aaron's completed states

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.
