How This Runner Completed the Baltimore, Chicago, and Boston Marathons in Three Days

When the 2021 Boston Marathon was postponed to the fall, it created a possibly once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for runners to run two World Marathon Majors on back-to-back days. But at least one runner took it even further. Jordan Tropf, a 29-year-old from Silver Spring, Maryland, ran the Chicago and Boston Marathons on consecutive days, but he also added a Saturday marathon close to his home in Baltimore the day before. This gave him three marathons in three days. Tropf had never attempted anything like this before—and not only did he want to complete all three, he wanted to do so as fast as possible. For an unsponsored runner who has some notable wins on his resume (Big Sur 2019 and Marine Corps Marathon 2019), it was a big ask, but he and his wife/crew chief, Hannah, thought this 2021 challenge would be fun to go after.
