Derek Goldsmith
Runner in 2024
My name is Derek Goldsmith and I have been married to my wife Melissa for 10 years. We have three beautiful children: Mason (age 5), Cori (age 3), Lexi (age 1).
Between the years of 2008-2017, I was heavily involved in running marathons and triathlons. I have completed a full Ironman, 4 marathons, and numerous other races. After completing Escape from Alcatraz and with little kids now in my life, my focus shifted elsewhere.
At the start of 2024, it was time to reintroduce myself to the sport of marathons. In doing so, I came across Fred’s Team, and knew that running for a cause is exactly what I wanted.
Recently, several people I know have been diagnosed with cancer. Being able to support a cause to support cancer research is an honor and a privilege.
