Johnny Kuplack is running 3,500 miles in 100 days to spread the message that every person — including every young man — is made for greatness.
The 36-year-old began his run, called the Via Magna (“Great Way”) run, in California earlier this year and will finish in New York on Divine Mercy Sunday, which falls on the second Sunday of Easter. His goal is to run an “ultra” — a run longer than the 26.2-mile length of a marathon — every day to raise awareness for his new organization, Sebaste. The nonprofit co-founded by Kuplack promises to help men reclaim their masculinity through trial, training and mentorship.
“The big message of Sebaste [that we want to communicate] to the men that come through our initiatives is: Your life’s not about you,” Kuplack said of his group, which is based in New Mexico and named after the 40 martyrs of Sebaste, Roman soldiers who died for their Christian faith in the fourth century.
