Local runner Adam Kimble describes his journey from casual runner to an ultramarathon career
Adam Kimble had an athletic background growing up in the Chicago suburb of Minooka, Illinois, playing baseball, basketball, and football in high school; he even played baseball at Bradley University. But he had no experience with running as a sport. That all changed a little over a decade ago when he ran his first half marathon.
“Prior to running my first race, I had no running background,” Kimble wrote in an email to Moonshine Ink. “I only ran when sports forced me too!”
