Craig Virgin Biography

Craig Virgin is one of the most popular and richest Runner who was born on August 2, 1955 in Belleville, Ontario, Canada.

While attending the University of Illinois, he won nine Big Ten Conference championships, nine All American awards as well as the 1975 NCAA Cross Country championship. He was a three-time Olympic qualifier at 10,000 meters, and the only American male to qualify three times in the event until Galen Rupp (2008, 2012, 2016). He was a seven-time American record holder in road and track events, including a 27:39.4 in the 10,000 meters in 1979 (breaking Prefontaine’s American record) and a 27:29.16 in 1980 that was the second fastest 10,000 meters in history at the time.

Olympic success eluded Virgin. He was eliminated in the 10,000-metre heats at both the 1976 Montreal Summer Olympics and the 1984 Los Angeles Summer Olympics (see, for example, Matti Hannus, ed., “Montreal Olympic Book” / Montreal Olympiakirja, Helsinki: “Runner” / Juoksija magazine, 1976; “The Big Olympic Book” / Suuri Olympiateos, volume 4, published in Finland in 1984). In 1980, ten days before the Olympics began, he ran the second fastest 10,000 meter race in history, but due to the U.S. boycott was not allowed to participate in the games. He did receive one of 461 Congressional Gold Medals created especially for the spurned athletes.
