Adena Health nurse practitioner
reaches global marathon milestone

As Jerry Tapp prepares for fourth straight Boston Marathon, he becomes part of elite group

Adena Health’s Jerry Tapp has come a long way over the last quarter century of his life – and that’s saying something for someone who finds enjoyment in running 26.2-mile race courses around the world.
 
As the lead nurse practitioner in cardiology and Waverly native prepares to compete in his fourth straight Boston Marathon April 17, he completed a personal quarter-century journey in early March in Tokyo, Japan, reaching a pinnacle only about 10,000 marathon runners have ever reached and landing him a spot in the Guinness Book of World Records.
When he crossed the finish line of the Tokyo Marathon 3 hours, 11 minutes and 30 seconds after taking his first stride, he became part of an elite group of runners from around the world to become a Six Star Finisher for completing all six of the Abbott World Marathon Majors contested in Berlin, Boston, Chicago, London, New York, and Tokyo. The accomplishment also will land him and about 3,000 other runners at the event in the Guinness Book of World Records as the largest number of runners in a single race earning their Six Star designation.
 
If you had asked Jerry, now 50, when he ran his first marathon in his mid-20s if he would reach such elite company, he likely would have laughed and said no...
Have You Seen and Heard About the
"Pike Heritage Museum 2023 Maintenance Project"

Even a small donation could help Donald Overly and the Pike Heritage Museum reach their fundraising goal.

If you can't make a donation, it would be great if you could share the fundraiser to help spread the word.

Thanks for taking a look!
