Why This Man Is Running Marathons Backwards
March 20, 2018
You've heard of Marathon Man, but now meet Backwards Guy! Loren Zitomersky ran backwards for more than 20 miles in the Los Angeles Marathon. So why on Earth would anyone do this? Loren wants to raise awareness and money for epilepsy in honor of his brother, Brian, who died from the neurological disorder when he was only 7 years old. It's no easy feat. To run backwards for this distance, Loren has a forward running spotter to call out navigation instructions.
