Published by
Filmed on 3/15/07 - Eugene, OR - Max King has earned a reputation in the running community as being a tougher than nails runner from Oregon that has almost reached mythical proportions. The race that started much of this aura around the Cornell grad was the 2006 USA Winter Cross-Country National Championships at Van Cortlandt Park in New York City, where King took third earning a spot on the World cross team in less than ideal conditions. Just over a year later Max reflects on one of the best races of his career. Max King had a respectable career at Cornell University that was highlighted by an All-American finish in the 2002 NCAA Division I steeplechase, however after experimenting with triathlons and adventure racing directly after college, King has rose to a new level on the national scene excelling in any race where guts are required. He resides in Bend and Eugene throughout the year training with the Oregon Track Club Elite team under coaches Frank Gagliano and Mike Manley where he hopes to continue to lower his personal best in the steeplechase (8:31).
