There is a man running our way.
“An extraordinary athlete.
A world adventurer.
A businessman.
A teacher.
A pioneer.
His dreams carried him to the four corners of the earth and back. His spirit has brought him challenges few could ever imagine. In pursut of his dream, he has suffered pain few have felt...and triumph few have known. Now, he runs into our world ...with a message which can positively impact lives forever. His name is Stan Cottrell and he is 78 years young. Consider these few patched glimpses of his life.
As an athlete, he runs an uncommon event...Ultra-distance.
He once ran from New York to San Francisco in 48 days, setting a new world record.
He ran across Europe in 80 days, averaging 55 miles per day.
He has run across 40 countries, including the Great Wall of China, promoting friendship and US image abroad.
On August of this year, Stan finished his third trek across the United States in 100 consecutive days averaging 30 miles per day. In his 73 years of running, he has logged more than 270,000 miles on his own two feet. Yet Stan Cottrell believes the source of his power is more than mere physical. He is convinced that it is a source we all can tap if we know how. Not just in athletics...but in all areas of our lives.
As a speaker, he is imminently believable. He has been where we have been...has felt what we feel and has had the same fears, insecurities and doubts we all have known. It’s about life...about courage...about pain…and Victory. As an Ambassador of Goodwill, Stan Cottrell has been honored by dignitaries and heads of state throughout the world. His deeds have brought nations together in friendship and his words have inspired millions.
