Tim Durbin: Running the world
Posted Mar 29, 2015
Tim Durbin wants to run the world – literally. The San Francisco-based consultant set a goal to walk and run the length of the equator – 24,901 miles – in 10 years. To ramp up his mileage, Durbin (BSBA ’05) trained and ran marathons. Now, after becoming the first American to run seven marathons on seven continents in seven days, he’s 184 miles closer to achieving his goal.
