Episode 10: Jack Fultz

Jack Fultz won the 1976 Boston Marathon, the hottest on record, with a time of 2:20:19. The temperature was over 100 degrees before the noon start time. The race is known as the "The Run for the Hoses" as spectators all across the Boston suburbs took out their garden hoses to spray down the runners. Jack speaks about his first marathon race in Washington D.C. and how he went from the Navy to become an elite marathon runner.

Fultz qualified for three consecutive United States Olympic Trials marathons in 1972, 1976, and 1980. Because President Jimmy Carter called for a boycott of the 1980 Moscow Games, Fultz did not run in the 1980 Olympic Trials. In 1996, Fultz was inducted into the Georgetown University Hall of Fame and on that occasion was invited to the White House to run with then-President Bill Clinton. Also in 1996, Fultz was inducted into the DC Road Runners Hall of Fame.

Jack now helps coach the Dana Farber Institute Boston Marathon team and fundraises for this amazing organization.
