Schuessler has been running in marathons for more than four decades.
Among the pack of runners taking their mark to participate in the Bank of America Chicago Marathon Sunday will be an Oak Park man who first started running the long races four decades ago. John Schuessler, 66, of Oak Park and a senior vice president at the marathon’s namesake bank, ran his first marathon in 1982 — when the now-popular event was simply the “Chicago Marathon.
“It’s interesting, most people I know who ran competitively stop running marathons as they get older,” Schuessler stated in the release. “But here I am, still running after all of these years. The energy, the excitement of running in my hometown of Chicago, I just can’t get enough!” He does much of his training in his hometown of Oak Park, but has also run on country roads in Michigan, the release states.
