B.C. man to run 22 consecutive marathons across province starting in Revelstoke
is an American runner and retired NAVY Seal. He’s credited as an ultra marathoner, ultra-distance cyclist, triathlete, public speaker, and has authored four books. Goggins’ 4x4x48 is a running challenge, where the athlete completes four miles every four hours for 48 hours straight.
Latti’s first ultra was finishing Goggins’ challenge, but Latti went above and beyond. He completed 50 kilometers each day. After completing the Goggins gauntlet, Latti continued to try more ultras across western Canada, from Salmon Arm to Edmonton to Victoria. In the process, he raised more than $15,000.
The race in Victoria was especially important to Latti, as he had an epiphany along the run. The whole race was meant to be 100 kilometers, but Latti had to stop at 82 because he couldn’t keep moving. The cutoff for the race was 12 hours, but Latti came through his final section at 15, which was far enough beyond the cutoff that everyone else had already left. As he shuffled his aching body over a rough trail in the middle of the dark, Latti began to smile because he’d come to a realization.
The Honour House Society is meant to be a ‘home away from home’ for current and former members of the Canadian Armed Forces and emergency services personnel and their families while they receive medical treatment. The Honour House is located in the Metro Vancouver area.pageLatti hopes his more than 600-kilometer journey will raise money and awareness for first responders and veterans with post-traumatic stress disorder and operational stress injuries“Define why you’re doing something.
