BOWLING GREEN, Ky. (AP) â Stan Cottrellâs legs are taking him across America. At 78, he is running a marathon each day for 100 days to travel from Los Angeles to Washington, D.C.
Cottrell, a Munfordville native who graduated from Western Kentucky University with a bachelorâs degree in health, biology, psychology and sociology, will have run more than 3,000 miles once his Amazing Friendship Run concludes in August. Having already trekked through the desert heat of California, Arizona and New Mexico, Cottrell will pass the mountains of Colorado before moving on to the Midwest.
A coast-to-coast run through the United States is nothing new for Cottrell. In 1980, he set a Guinness World Record for the fastest run across America when he finished the feat in 48 days.

Renowned ultra long-distance runner Stan Cottrell stopped in Phoenix Wednesday for his first event on his third cross-country run in 40 years, days after turning 78 years old.
Called The Amazing Friendship Run, Cottrell started in Los Angeles on Friday and plans to arrive in Washington, D.C. after running about 3,000 miles in 100 days to raise funds for charity and encourage friendship, unity and movement. If this 78-year old can get out here and run 30 miles a day, surely you can get up, he told The Arizona Republic. We re not designed to sit in place and sit still.
Cottrell made his first stop at Encanto Park at about 4 p.m. after running close to 30 miles on Wednesday and was met by city officials, the Cesar Chavez Drumline, first responders and cheerleaders waving pom-poms.
