Kenji Heilman is a 44-time marathon runner from Northern Kentucky. After playing sports through college, he continued to stay active and eventually ran his first marathon in 2002. He has since paced Cincinnati’s Flying Pig Marathon 13 times and looks forward to it annually. The Mohawk Hudson River Marathon in October will be his 45th in a 20th state, and he still believes he can achieve a personal best at 52 years of age. He encourages everyone to focus on ‘you're happy’, work hard and keep learning. You can find him on Twitter/X at @kenjiheilman
