After a hiking trip in the Teton Mountains in September of 1972, Jack Adair started logging his miles running and walking all over the world. His journey took him throughout the United States, Switzerland, Africa, and Europe. Jack walked his last mile April 13th 2014 for a total of 34101 miles. Now his family would like to honor him by offering you an opportunity to run The Jack Adair Mile.
