Hey everyone! I’m Gunnar, I currently reside in Gold Coast. I’ve been living in Chicago for about a year now, previously lived in the Greater Boston Area, and originally from Cincinnati, Ohio. I’m looking forward to being apart of Endorphins and meeting some new like-minded folks!

My running journey started about 4 years ago with the goal of simply trying to get back into shape after having a bit too much fun in college. That quickly ignited a passion for health and fitness, and since then, I’ve completed multiple marathons and just this past year completed my first Ironman 70.3 and full Ironman triathlons.

For 2024, I’ll be training for my first 100 mile ultramarathon in May at the Keys 100 Ultra in Key Largo, FL as well as the Chicago marathon this fall!

You can usually find me on the Lakefront Trail or FFC Gold Coast. If you would like to connect:
