Mark Wholey is an Age Group triathlete and runner. Mark has been an athlete since 7 years old, when he started kicking a soccer ball around in the local youth leagues. He played through college into Division I at the Univeristy of Hartford, CT, ultimately spending 25 years as a soccer player and a middle / long distance track athlete, before taking up triathlon as his sport of choice. "I had been considering the sport for years and, in fact in college, I ran so much distance that I was routinely chided about how many Ironmans I did over the summer." When once, asked to estimate how many miles he had run in total, he conservatively guessed 25,000 - 35,000.... "At least once around the world."

Mark strongly supports cancer awareness and research charities. Mark's father recently passed (April 2012) after battling NSCLC squamous lung cancer, and Mark's father-in-law battled glioblastoma astrocytoma, an agressive form of brain cancer until April 2005.
