On his 60th birthday, John Maultsby of Las Vegas took a gamble and vowed to run a marathon in all 50 states. This past weekend, Maultsby, now 73, finished his 50th at the Anthem Manchester City Marathon in Manchester, New Hampshire, when he clocked in at 4 hours, 9 minutes, 15 seconds, the Associated Press reports. He has run seven marathons just this year, according to WMUR9.
