Hi! My name is Gregory Sobol. Growing up, soccer was my passion and running was just a means to get me to the ball. It wasn’t until 2016, at age 25, that my uncle really got me into running. While I was a late bloomer, It didn’t take me long to get absolutely hooked. Since then, I’ve completed seven marathons and more than fifteen half marathons. Running has allowed me to travel the world, create lasting memories with family, and raise money on behalf of several amazing charitable organizations.

I’m honored to have been chosen to run the Boston Marathon on behalf of eHop, where I’ll complete all six World Marathon Majors and earn the Six Star Medal—an achievement reached by only about 23,000 runners worldwide.

I believe deeply in the power of running to bring people together and am excited to support eHop’s mission to promote government transparency, encourage civic engagement, and inspire more residents to get involved in local decision-making.

I live in Warren, New Jersey with my wife, Allison, and our daughter, Blaire. Outside of running, I love spending time with family, traveling, and reading all the history books I can get my hands on!
