TOM “ QUITPROOF ” JONES
Tom " QUITPROOF " Jones is most likely the greatest athlete you've never heard of.
Extreme athlete and Marine veteran Tom Jones is passionate about the United States of America, the Constitution, and the traditional values of freedom, family, and faith. He is a world-record holder and has an impressive history of completing extreme physical challenges, including running from Huntington Beach, California, to New York City at a marathon pace for 121 consecutive days; setting the first-ever Stand Up Paddleboard long distance world record by paddleboarding 1,250 miles from Oregon to Mexico in 93 days; and becoming a seven-time Muay Thai Champion—including being the only person to run a full marathon and compete in a sanctioned Muay Thai prize fight on the same day.
Tom’s regular training and lifestyle includes a holistic approach to mind, body, and spirit. His cross-training activities include weight lifting, circuit training, running, stretching, cycling, surfing, hydro-foiling, hiking, and walking. Spiritually, Tom has a strong faith in God. He meditates, visualizes, and participates in self-improvement programs.
A man of physical prowess and great heart, Jones engages in many challenges to raise awareness and funds for causes close to his heart. As the Village to Village run approaches, his message is, “I am willing to do this impressive physical and mental feat to bring awareness to this cause. What are you willing to do?”
