Mike Cosentino
Arguably, no one knows more about running and walking in Atlanta than Mike Cosentino. As the author of the Atlanta Running Guide* (Peachtree Publishers, 2003), Mike has spent years learning — and telling us — about:
- the best places to run in and around the city
- the most popular events that fill our calendar every weekend
- the wonderful people that participate in a pedestrian-active lifestyle — by themselves, with friends and family, and as members of local running clubs and groups
He has also written for Atlanta Sports & Fitness and Wingfoot magazines and has been a feature for the Fox 5 pre-race coverage of the Peachtree Road Race. His racing accomplishments include top three finishes at the Louisville (KY), Crater Lake Rim (OR) and Duchess County (NY) Marathons, and a first place age group award in the 2003 Atlanta Marathon. Also a veteran ultra-marathoner, Mike has placed at the Kettle Moraine (WI) 100-Mile Run, the Leadville (CO) 100-Mile “Race Across the Sky,” and the Massanutten Mountain (VA) Trails 100-Miler. He holds a coveted “Silver Buckle” for a sub-24 hour finish in the Western States (CA) 100-Mile Endurance Race.
He continually strives to get the most out of life, including his own fitness routine, and has a passion for being and working with others trying to do the same.
Mike and his wife, Inge, cover plenty of miles on foot running the neighborhood streets of Atlanta and chasing after their two children, Campbell and Monica.
