In Honor of our Inspirational Runner
330 Races, 1,442 Miles, and a Lifetime of Grit: Jim Musial’s Remarkable Determination

Commitment and resilience are qualities that define a person’s character. When Duradero was just getting started, Jim Musial’s honest dedication to something bigger than himself became one of our core inspirations. Running 330 5K races in a row over nearly three decades is proof of that. When Jim Musial toed the line at his first race in East Grand Rapids back in 1998, it was meant to be a one-year challenge. Fast forward 27 years, and Jim has just completed his 330th race—wearing bib #330—having never missed a month.
The Duradero Spirit

This story isn’t just about running. It’s about showing up, year after year, race after race, no matter what life throws at you. Jim’s resilience is woven into the fabric of Duradero—boots that, like him, are made to go the distance.
As Jim says, “It all started with a one-year goal. Turns out, I just kept going.”
Jim’s journey reflects the spirit we embrace at Duradero: built to last, ready for anything, and always running for a cause.
Here’s to every step taken, every challenge overcome, and every finish line ahead.
