We honor the Gift Giver by being faithful with the gifts He has given.
For Josh, and his running cohorts, running is one of the ways they reach the world with Christ's message of hope and love. For him, an interview wasn't enough, a line of thanks written in a newspaper couldn't capture all that Christ had done in his life. For now, running is his ministry, the road and track - his mission field.
Josh burst onto the national running scene by winning and setting a course record in a 50-mile ultra marathon at the tender age of 22. When he was 23, while training for the 10k, he ran his first marathon and finished in 2:19. The following year he was the youngest qualifier for the 2000 US Olympic Marathon Trials. Later that year, Josh blistered the 4th fastest time in the US with a 2:13 clocking at the Chicago marathon.
Since then Cox, a three-time Trials qualifier and three-time US National Team member, has trained with the world's best in Kenya, finished 7th at the US Olympic Trials and, coincidentally, finished in that same spot on ABC's hit reality show, The Bachelorette. Last year Cox set a course record at the Air Force Marathon, winning by a margin of 12 minutes.
Josh has written for and graced the covers of numerous magazines. He currently works as an On-Air personality for Fox Sports and Runner's World in addition to his 130 mile week regimen at his training home in Mammoth Lakes, CA. His running cohorts include silver medalist Meb Keflezighi as well as Olympians Dan Browne and marathon phenom Ryan Hall.
Josh has addressed corporations, churches, concert crowds, colleges and athletic clubs. He and Ryan are finalizing a deal for a faith based running book that will be sure to captivate audiences.
