95 years. 95 lessons. One extraordinary legacy.

To celebrate Hal Higdon’s 95th birthday at the end of June, we’re launching a special June series: 95 Years, 95 Lessons a collection of the insights, wisdom, and moments that have shaped Hal’s life and inspired generations of runners.

We’re starting with Lesson #1: your first mile.

Because every runner has a moment — a first mile that changed everything. The mile where you stopped thinking “I’m not a runner”… and started becoming one.

Now we want to hear yours.

Share your story, photo, or memory of your first mile — the one that started it all — and tag us on Instagram at and so we can celebrate it with you.

Here’s to 95 years of lessons… and the miles that started them all.
