Today is Sunday, September 7th, 2025, and on this day in 1965, 3-time Berlin Marathon champion Uta Pippig was born in Leipzig, East Germany.
In this episode we will learn more about her early life at the epicenter of the Cold War, and how that first Berlin win in 1990 began an incredible career with 7 World Marathon Major wins in 7 years.
