Dr. Alan Brock, founder of the Austin, Texas based non-profit Fit2Endure completed an amazing 40-day, 896-mile run this past summer. He did this to raise funds and bring awareness to the national child obesity epidemic.

His trek began in Austin, TX on July 11th. He ran across the state of Texas going northwest through Abilene, Lubbock, Amarillo and many small towns in between. A short leg through the Oklahoma panhandle and he was into Colorado. As if running across the 2nd largest state in the union wasn’t enough, he ended his amazing journey by completing the Pike’s Peak Marathon in Denver on August 19.

All along the way Brock was followed by a support crew, was cheered on by spectators and even found time for some TV interviews and a daily blog.

Alan Brock is not a man to stop either! Now he’s getting ready for a 100 mile trail run in Bandera, Tx in November. You can read more about his 896 run and his current training on his Summit40 Blog.
