This is Gordonville, Pennsylvania resident Leroy Stolzfus, 22, who recently finished the Harrisburg Marathon in three hours, 5 minutes and 45 seconds, close to what it would take for him to qualify for the Boston Marathon. He did it wearing his traditional Amish clothing.
Stolzfus told Penn Live that his nontraditional running garb doesn’t bug him one bit. “In the summer heat, he said he tries to drink more water, but he doesn’t do anything ‘out of the ordinary.'”
