James Carson

Jim is from Ohio and started running in 2009 as a way to lose weight. After six months of dedication and more than 50 pounds lost, he was addicted. Since then he has competed in approximately 100 races ranging from 5K to marathon distance. The 2022 London Marathon will be his 13th marathon and 3rd Abbott World Major overall having run Boston twice (2021 & 2022) and Berlin (2019).Jim gets his inspiration from his long-time running partner (and wife) Peggy and three grown children who have also been very active in the running community. Jim and Peggy (who is also running London this year with Runbuk) are looking forward to sharing a pint (or two) after successfully completing this year’s race.
