John started with The Running Place very recently (April of 2024). He has been running off-and-on for the past thirty years, however. He describes his running style as being ‘inspired by the tortoise in the story of Tortoise and Hare’. He’s also close friends with Mr. Ken dating back to their time at Girard College together.
