    The Runners Reunion Podcast

    About

    Welcome to the Runners Reunion Podcast your hosts are Grant Whitney, John Gorman and Ron Gillooly. The Runners Reunion podcast was inspired by the Runners Reunion event organized by Scott Mason and Gerry Beagan in 2019. John and Ron attended the event and had a great time reconnecting with many friends from the 70s, 80s and 90s. In the spirit of that event we decided a podcast would be a great way to continue to connect with our friends from the running community and share their stories.

    With more than 110,000 miles logged that included 130+ marathons and 10+ ultra-marathons it is safe to say that running has been a big part of Tom Egan’s life.  As time has passed Tom has reflected on his experiences throughout his adventurous life including a year long stint in Vietnam during the height of the war.  Fifty years later Tom found the courage to relive his experiences in Vietnam through the stories of the courageous men and women in Al Santoli’s New York Times Bestseller Everything We Had.  Their stories were very similar to his experiences with the daily struggle to stay alive and the public hostility that accompanied the transition back to civilian life.  Join us in this episode as Tom reflects on his service in Vietnam and remarkable running journey that helped him cope with his return to civilian life.
