Ted Kirpes, a dedicated Bloomsday race participant since 1977, has maintained an unbroken streak of 48 consecutive years for the 12-kilometer event in Spokane, Washington. Despite moving away and facing major injuries, including back surgeries and knee repairs, Kirpes has persevered, even wrapping his toes in duct tape to finish races. Now 68, he looks forward to his 50th Bloomsday and plans to continue racing as long as possible.
