Debut Marathon!

Ryan’s hard work and dedication leading up to his debut marathon have been incredible to watch. Finishing in 2:46, missing his A goal by just one minute, and qualifying for Boston is an amazing accomplishment – one that truly reflects his consistency, grit, and commitment.

What makes this even more impressive is how he balanced it all with a busy work schedule. That ability to show up, put in the work, and stay focused is exactly what Rise Up Racing is all about.

We are so proud of Ryan and honored to be part of his journey. This is just the beginning, and we can’t wait to see what he accomplishes next!

From Ryan:​
“I have been a distance runner for 20 years and Jim Thorpe was my first marathon. I was grateful for the perfect weather conditions and excited to see if all my hard work was going to pay off. Running 2:46 on a goal of 2:45 is nothing to be upset about. What made this even better was having my wife Charleen, Robin and Kristin waiting for me to pass through around mile 12 and encouraging me, and then again at the finish. Being part of such a supportive team definitely makes any race experience better.”
