Chuck Engle: The Marathon Junkie
I've been working over the Memorial Day Weekend to get Chuck Engle's marathon statistics up-to-date. [His web site is http://www.chuckengle.com/]
The last two weekends, he has won races in Brookings, South Dakota and Rochester, Minnesota (Med-City Marathon).
He currently has 178 marathons to his credit, including 78 wins.
He has marathons in 44 states plus the District of Columbia (lacking UT, CT, NH, VT, MT and ND) and wins in 37 of those states.
He has a sub 3-hour marathon in 42 of those 44 states (exclude Wyoming and Colorado).
This is the release that I've given to him to take with him when he runs the Minneapolis Marathon this weekend:
"The Marathon Junkie" Chuck Engle, 38, of Dublin, Ohio, is running his 179th marathon at today's inaugural Minneapolis Marathon.
Engle is a week removed from completing a marathon in his 44th state after winning last Sunday's Med-City Marathon in Rochester in 2:39:16 - the event's fastest time in four years when Peter Gilman scorched the 2005 course in 2:25:54.
Med-City was Engle's 78th career marathon victory and a win in his 37th state.
He will be running consecutive marathons in the same state for the 12th time in his marathoning career, which started on September 3, 2000 with a 2:34:33 win at the Tupelo (Mississippi) Marathon. (Engle has won the Tupelo Marathon seven times.)
The Minneapolis Marathon will be Engle's 26th marathon of 2009. He ran 51 marathons in 2006 and posted 33 marathon finishes a year ago. It will be the fifth consecutive month that he has run 5 marathons in - something that the Marathon Junkie has never done before.
64 of Engle's marathons have been run under two hours and 40 minutes, 106 under 2:45, 139 under 2:50 and 168 under 3 hours. The only marathon that Engle has run where he hasn't posted a Boston Marathon-qualifying time was the Pikes Peak Marathon.
Engle enters the Minneapolis Marathon having won his last three marathons including the This Is More Than A Marathon in Ames, Iowa on May 10, the Brookings, S.D. Marathon on May 16 and Med-City last Sunday. He won seven straight marathons to start 2006 and his 14 marathons to start that year included top three finishes.
