Pittsburgh Marathon Notes
My friend V wondered if I was able to photograph the Taco wearing runner from 2016 in this year’s Marathon.
He didn’t run in Pittsburgh this year.
I heard back from him –
Kirk Millikan responded to my message, granting permission to post his pic. (Of course I didn’t get the message til after the post went up) , phew!
Here’s what he said in his reply-
“Thanks for the support! I still have that taco costume and actually wore it yesterday, across the country at the OC Marathon in Costa Mesa, California.”
Here are some of this years participants in Dick’s Pittsburgh Marathon
Pittsburgh Marathon this Sunday
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.

Heart Transplant Recipient Ran Marathon
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

PGH Marathon Sunday May 6th
Pittsburgh Marathon is officially DICK’S Sporting Goods Pittsburgh Marathon- Here is a  Pittsburgh Post -Gazette Article about PGH MarathonMay 2018!
I missed photographing the early wheelchair participants and the first and fastest runners who’d already run by. Â Got down the hill a little later this year.
Running to “remember Uncle Buddy” was touching.
