Kevin Hebert

Bio

Kevin Hebert is a 46-year-old runner from the Dallas-Fort Worth area who has become one of the most inspiring transformation stories in the local running community. A former ski bum from Colorado who once avoided running at all costs, Kevin didn't start taking running seriously until 2023 when he committed to his first marathon training cycle. After years of casual running with Dallas Running Club—typically just twice a week—Kevin made a dramatic lifestyle change that included quitting caffeine and alcohol, hiring coach Greg Rankin, and building his weekly mileage from 35 to 70 miles. His dedication paid off spectacularly when he ran 3:08:58 in his marathon debut at the 2024 California International Marathon, easily qualifying for Boston. Kevin followed up his breakthrough performance with a second marathon at Eugene in 2025, where despite dealing with leg pain, he ran another Boston qualifier. When not chasing personal records, Kevin enjoys running with groups like White Rock Running Co-op and Pegasus City Running. He lives in the DFW area with his wife Brooke (also a runner) and their two children. His story proves that with the right mindset, coaching, and community support, remarkable athletic breakthroughs can happen at any age—even for former ski bums who used to hide in pickup trucks to avoid cross country practice.
