Jim Lawrence

Ran his first marathon (Seattle) as a 30th birthday present to himself and quickly became addicted to crossing finish lines and earning race numbers and his collection is steadily growing. Jim will run anything from a 5k to ultra marathons and recently ran the entire 24 hours of the San Diego 1 Day race, finishing with 105 miles. It feels nearly unbelievable to Jim that he'll be racing at the top of the world with other gutsy athletes and is happy to be running again with friends Gary Baron, Ginny Turner and the Ross Duo, all of whom he met in Antarctica. His favoutite races: Antarctica Marathon (finished 6th overall); Fin del Mundo Marathon in Ushuaia, Argentina; San Diego 1 Day; White River 50 Mile at Crystal Mountain, WA; Big Sur International Marathon and the Furry 5k, a benefit for the Seattle Animal Shelter. Jim hopes to have raced all seven continents and the North Pole before he turns 45. When not jogging, his days are spent as a paralegal in the Torts Division for the Attorney General of Washington.
