Jeff is a trail and ultrarunner from Maple Grove, MN and a bit of a legend in the local Twin Cities trail running scene. He’s completed over 100 races at or beyond the marathon distance with results dating back to 1990. One of the most remarkable things about Jeff is that at age 65, he is just getting started. 

 In January, Jeff also joined our sponsored athlete team, Team PRG, and we’re beyond excited to have such an inspirational athlete on our team. In our interview we take a deep dive with Jeff into his training, racing, and secrets to having such tremendous longevity within the sport of ultrarunning.
