Abel Antón to Join the Strands Family
Winning gold metals in the marathon at the 1997 and 1999 World Championships in Athletics, we’re extremely excited for Abel to join the Strands Family as a Marketing Director in Spain. In addition to the gold medals in ‘97 and ‘99, in 1998 he became the first Spanish runner to win the London Marathon (view his fulls stats at iaaf.org).
His presence on the Strands Team has been generating some buzz, and you can see him interviewing alongside fellow runner and Strands Team member Fabián Roncero for a Spanish TV station while greeting fans at the Madrid Half Marathon.
If you’ve already received your invitation, you can follow his run at strands.com/abelanton. Not a member yet? Request an invite!
