Old Crazy Runners - the Podcast

The Secret Marathon in Afghanistan


Listen Later

Join our conversation with Martin Parnell and Kate McKenzie. Martin raised $1.3 million dollars for charity by running 250 marathons in one year, climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro in 21 hours and numerous other quests. He was later in the hospital recovering from a massive blood clot when he read about Zainab, the first Afghan woman to run a marathon in Afghanistan. He vowed, at that moment, he would run the next secret marathon with her if he got better. He then met Kate, a journalist and documentary film maker at a charity event. She decided to document his journey and run her very first marathon in Afghanistan. 

Watch the screening this Saturday here. And learn more about the film here and the secret 3K that you can run with all of us.

We discuss the whole country running in the snow, how William Weeks is crushing his journey and what are goals vs. aspirations.
