James Bonnett
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
James Bonnett (b. Scottsdale, Arizona)
This 19-year-old has been on the ultrarunning scene since he was twelve years of age when he won the 1998 Across the Years 24-Hour race. Bonnett found his inspiration to run from his father who ran in marathons but not a competitive level. James stepped out of the ultrarunning world while in high school to be able to run cross-country and track; he loved being able to run with kids his own age, but still loves the support and training the ultra-level crowd showed him.
