Joe Church: Marathoner of the Seas

Send us Fan MailThis week on The Joy of Cruising Podcast, I am delighted to welcome Joe Church, a truly amazing story and reader favorite. In The Joy of Cruising. I dubbed Joe the Marathoner of the Seas, and told his unique story of how 70-something Joe runs a marathon distance, 26.2 miles, on every Royal Caribbean ship—beginning with Liberty of the Seas in 2008, not only his first marathon distance on a ship, but his first cruise—through to Royal’s newest, the largest ship in the world, Wonder of the Seas just a few weeks ago. Joe was also featured in the second book, Cruising Interrupted—his story is evergreen—as long as Royal builds new ships, Joe says he going to run a marathon distance on them. As fascinating as that is, there is a lot more to Joe than running on ships. He ran in the NYC Marathon a couple years ago; he has run marathons on every continent, 63 countries, and in every state in the US—well over 25,000-miles since running his first marathon in only 2005. Joe is a man of three passions: cruising, running, and oh, he is an ardent bird watcher who traveled the world birdwatching long before his first cruise. Do you have a dream car?
