UPDATE: Tim Kowols finished the 26.3 mile London Marathon in 2:55:03.
A familiar face and voice in Door County media will be one of the nearly 40,000 runners who will be participating in the London Marathon in England on Sunday. Tim Kowols of New Radio and Door County Daily News qualified and will be competing in what is billed as the “Super Bowl of Marathons” with mass participation waves starting between 10:00 am and 11:30 a.m. London time ( 4:00 a.m. and 5:30 a.m. CDT) Sunday. Having increased his training in the past few months, Kowols flew to London from Chicago this past Wednesday with family in preparation for the race. He has run in numerous marathons in the past 15 years, including the Boston Marathon. You can track Tim’s run during the London Marathon by downloading the 2023 Official TCS London Marathon App here.
