GOSHEN — Floyd Miller has already completed a marathon (26.2 miles) on all seven continents.

In order, the Goshen man has raced in North America, Europe, Africa, Antarctica, South America, Australia and Asia.

Next up for the 64-year-old is the completion of the five majors (the five biggest marathons in the world).

Having already run in Boston, Chicago, New York and London, Miller is bound for Berlin. The 39th BMW Berlin Marathon in the capital of Germany is scheduled for Sept. 30. For good measure, he plans to come back and return to the Bank of America Chicago Marathon on Oct. 7. It’s the first time he has raced twice in such a short timespan.

“I enjoy the running and I enjoy traveling and other cultures,” says Miller of his reason for marathoning around the globe. “I have the best of both worlds. I get to do two things I enjoy.”

Miller’s marathon odyssey can be traced back to his love of running while being raised Amish. He often ran to or from one-room schools Sand Hill or Taylor, north of Topeka.

After he married Linda and started a family, he was bitten by the road-racing bug. He took part in one of the early Elkhart County 4-H Fair Parade 5,000 races and escalated from there, running 10Ks then half-marathons and then full marathons.

While in his 30s, he clocked the marathon distance in 3:03. He gave up the long distance for about two decades before getting his second wind around 2005. Since then, he has participated in about a dozen marathons and made the seven continents and five majors a quest.

Along the way, he experienced the grandeur and challenge of racing on the Great Wall in China and took in the vastness and barrenness in Antartica.

“(Running the Great Wall) was an extremely grueling task,” says Miller. “But you don’t do it for time, you do it for the experience.

“(Antartica) is like stepping on another planet, almost.”

While getting ready for the Berlin trip, where Miller also plans to do some sightseeing in other parts of Germany, he has been logging about 90 miles per week. He typically goes 10 miles or so in the morning then six during his lunch break at Forest River in Millersburg (With the company of 38 years, Miller is an operations manager at Forest River).

Miller puts in 20-24 miles on Saturdays and rests on Sundays.

While he enjoys the competition and the travel, the training gives him something else.

“It’s a stress reliever more than anything,” says Miller. “All of the stress of life disappears.”
