This is Kirk Millikan of Richmond Virginia, dressed as a taco, running the Pittsburgh Marathon on May 1, 2016.
He holds Guinness world records in a Lumberjack costume in London 2023 and in Berlin wearing Lederhosen 2019 running a marathon in these costumes.
I’ll be looking for him as he reaches mile 21 in Highland Park where I live. No idea how he’ll be dressed. But I’ll have my camera at the ready.
The runners will be going right through our neighborhood. Stay tuned for updates.
An AGH (Allegheny General Hospital) Heart Transplant ran the Pittsburgh Marathon last Sunday. I thought about him today and I went back tonight and found his photograph. I took it just before Mile 20.
Absolutely incredible, isn’t it?
Wishing him all the best!
According to the article below from WTAE he had the transplant just 17 months ago
