He also completed his own personal project, the "Every Single Street" project, where he ran every street in San Francisco. He also ran the entire landmass of the USA from West to East in his project "Transamericana". He now lives in Santa Fe, New Mexico with his wife Liz and 1-year-old Wilhelmina. Join us as we talk to Rickey about his training and racing experiences, visiting some of the most awe-inspiring places around the world, and the long-lasting friendships he has built along the way.
