Who is Matt Choi? Get to Know the Red-Hot Runner Who Just Traversed a Country in 10 Days

Earlier in November Matt completed his most recent challenge: running from the very top to the very bottom of an entire country in ten days. As crazy as it may sound, there are no caveats needed or shortcuts taken. 

Matt started at the top of South Korea in Seoul, and over the course of ten days, ran 393 miles down to Busan to touch the bottom of the country. In order to pull off this spectacular feat, he needed to run a marathon or more every day to reach his goal of completing the challenge in under two weeks—and he did it in just 10 days. Oh, and he’s run a handful of other marathons throughout the past year too, including the legendary New York City Marathon, which took place just a week before he ventured off to South Korea. 

In other words, the man can run.

What makes Matt’s challenges meaningful is his purpose behind each of them. Take his most recent challenge in South Korea, for example. Matt is a Korean American who grew up in the United States. His idea for this challenge was born from the desire to connect with his Korean culture, and what better place to do this than in South Korea? But that is just one example of how his curiosity and desire to learn has impacted his running journey and content.

We had the pleasure of having Matt join us for an episode of Bowl’d Entrepreneurs recently to discuss the brand he is building and where he plans to take it. Check the full episode!
