~ Coming in the Fall of 2025 ~
Shan runs 169 CT Towns - 1100 miles
THE RUN
Inspired by our new CT Chapter of Medals4Mettle, Shan will tackle his next multi-day run this fall: 1,100 miles through all 169 towns in Connecticut. Shan will start running shortly after Labor Day and wrap up with a final lap at the Eversource Hartford Marathon. The route winds through the heart of every CT town, passing landmarks and connecting communities along the way.
THE CAUSE
Medals4Mettle connects endurance athletes with children and adults fighting serious illness by delivering donated, hard-earned race medals as symbols of strength and resilience. Shan’s first multi-day charity run in 2008 was for M4M, making this a meaningful full-circle moment. We’re proud to be working alongside the Connecticut Children’s Foundation and the Hartford Marathon Foundation to bring this mission home.
