‘Mr. Marathon’ Tracy Sundlun fired by firm he co-founded in 1990s

Once upon a time, marathons were for men, and anything over 3 hours was not worth mentioning. That changed when Tim Murphy and Tracy Sundlund started the Rock ‘n’ Roll Marathon series — first in San Diego. Now everyone and his grandmother runs 26.2 miles or a half-marathon. Four months ago — just 36 hours before leaving for the Rio Olympics — track team manager Sundlun was laid off by the company he co-founded. Check out my story in Times of San Diego, which quotes Steve Scott and others.

Tracy Sundlun is a legend in the marathon biz. He's looking for a new job now at age 64.

    Great article, Ken. Wouldn’t it be something if there was a way to involve him in Masters Track?
