EXTREMELY OUTSIDE
Shan runs 169 CT Towns - 1100 miles
In fall 2025, inspired by our new CT Chapter of Medals4Mettle, Shan will tackle his next multi-day running challenge: 1,100 miles through all 169 towns in Connecticut. Shan will start running shortly after Labor Day and wrap up with a final lap at the Eversource Hartford Marathon.
Medals4Mettle connects endurance athletes with children and adults fighting serious illness by delivering donated, hard-earned race medals as symbols of strength and resilience. Shan’s first multi-day charity run back in 2008 was for M4M—so this is a full-circle moment. We’re proud to be working alongside the Connecticut Children’s Foundation and the Hartford Marathon Foundation to bring this mission home.
