On Sunday, Metal Mulisha rider Derek Garland will take off on the Rock And Roll Marathon in Las Vegas! This 26.2 mile run will be the first for any FMX rider to take on the challenge! When Garland is off his bike, he is calculating an average of 40 miles a week.
“At first, it wasn’t so much the physical aspect as it was the mental. Thinking that I had to run 20 miles on the weekends seemed hard, but after doing it and looking back, it was more mental than anything.” – Derek Garland.
Garland had a prior commitment with life long friend and Mulisha family member Jeff Ox Kargola whose life was lost in a tragic accident earlier this year in Mexico. “I told Jeff I was going to run a marathon, so for me, it’s a way to finish something I said I was going to do. I can dedicate the marathon to him because I know he’ll be looking down and smiling on me.” We can’t wait to see the final result and good luck with your run this weekend! After Sunday’s race, Garland will be featured in the March issue of Runner’s World magazine! Congrats Garland and we wish you the best!
