My story
From national teams to master's podiums — a lifetime of endurance.
I’m JACK COOK, a lifelong endurance athlete and proud member of the 55–59 master's category — still chasing podiums and personal bests.
My journey began on skis, as a former member of the Canadian National Cross-Country Ski Team, PLACING 2nd and 4th at the 1991 Ski Nationals. From there, I transitioned to the trails and roads, representing Canada on both the National Mountain Running Team and the National Ultra Running Team.
Over the years, I’ve tested my limits across disciplines — from the track to the mountains — and earned a few highlights along the way:
Marathon PB of 2:34 at the 1999 Vancouver Marathon, where I was the top Canadian finisher, placing 5th overall
1st place at the 2008 Canadian 100km Championships with a personal best of 7:34
three-time consecutive winner of the Canadian Death Race, one of Canada’s most grueling ultra events
Today, I continue to compete at a high level:
Currently ranked 3rd in Canada in the 55–59 Hyrox PRO division & QUALIFIED FOR THE 2025 HYROX WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS IN CHICAGO, JUNE 12- 15TH
Regularly place in the top 5 nationally in the 800m and 1500m (M55-59) on the track, as ranked by Athletics Canada
Ranked 1st for Alberta Cup series points (M50-59) during the 2024/25 season
placed 4th (m55-59) at the 2024 Provincial cyclocross championships
Placed 2nd in both the 800m and 1500m (m55-59) at the 2025 Provincial Track & Field Championships
I believe that performance doesn’t fade with age — it evolves. Mileage Game is my way of proving that endurance, grit, and growth are lifelong pursuits. Whether I’m racing through a Hyrox course, grinding out intervals on the track, or gliding across Nordic trails, I’m still chasing the edge — and loving every mile of it.
