Man on Historic 50 State Trek on Foot reaches Wisconsin : 44 States Complete, 6 States Remain

MADISON, Wis. - Rezul -- Noah Coughlan entered Genoa City on Tuesday, February 24, with Wisconsin marking the start of his 45th U.S. State on his historic 5th Run across the continental United States in the last 15 years. He has previously completed four previous Ocean to Ocean solo treks in 2011, 2013, 2015, and 2023. Noah also ran across Ireland in 2020.

While an impressive physical feat, Noah will be the first to tell you that it's not about the running, but about the People. This 2026 "Run for America : A Tribute to the American People" is to engage big cities and small towns honoring everyday Americans and veterans, encouraging unity while highlighting the enduring spirit of our Nation through media and storytelling for a renewed appreciation for America's shared history.
