Athlete Shenanigans is where I come to give shoutouts to athletes doing amazing things, and hopefully inspire others to also do amazing things. Today’s amazing athlete is Alex Kamages.
Alex is an IT professional at BioMarin, a committed father, a talented musician, and a passionate collector of tattoos.
By the time I was introduced to Alex, he already had an impressive running history. Since joining Pinnacle Running Alex has become an amazing overachiever of an athlete. He has qualified for, and run the Boston Marathon twice, completed multiple 100-mile races, and continues to set new PRs well into his 40s.
Thus far in 2024, Alex has completed the Boston Marathon and the Broken Arrow Triple Crown (VK, 23k, and 46k). Most recently Alex has set out to do something truly amazing… completing back-to-back 100-mile races. On July 20, 2024, Alex completed the grueling Tahoe Rim Trail 100-mile run. In just a few days Alex will be running Angeles Crest 100-mile run.
Alex does not use Strava much, but you can wish him luck at Angeles Crest, and follow his adventures on Instagram, or if you are in the Bay Area, stop by and check out his music.
