Matt Hyland

Matt Hyland enjoys running road races around the country and trains with the Alexandria Fun Runners in Old Town. A Cross Country and track athlete during his High School years on Long Island, Matt took a 10-year hiatus from running after completing the New York City Marathon in 1998. Discovering the Old Town Fun Runners motivated Matt to return to the sport with a vengeance, and he now completes about 4 Marathons a year towards achieving his goal of running a full Marathon in all 50 states.

A Communications Officer in the U.S. Air Force by day, Matt is also qualified Marathon Maniac, having completed 2 full Marathons in a single week, and is registered for the Goofy "Marathon and a Half" Challenge at Walt Disney World next January.
