No goal is too big for world-famous marathon runner Becca Pizzi.
The Belmont, Mass., native made history in 2016 by becoming the first American woman to complete the World Marathon Challenge, which consists of seven marathons in seven days on seven different continents. She completed the challenge again in 2018, setting a new world record in the process.
If that wasn't enough, Pizzi has raced over 100 marathons, including all six World Majors and one in all 50 states. This past year, Pizzi took on a new training partner in former Boston Bruins star Zdeno Chara ahead of the Boston Marathon.
