EXECUTIVE: Peter Kilcullen is the co-owner of a Club Pilates franchise in Bradenton that opened in November 2017. He plans to open other locations in the area, including at least one in Sarasota. Kilcullen also appears on TV shopping network HSN, as an on-air guest representing different lawn and garden products.
DIVERSION: Kilcullen runs ultra-marathons — races that are longer than the traditional marathon length of 42.195 kilometers or 26.2 miles. He's a five-time finisher of the Mountain Mist 50K in Huntsville, Ala. He's also competed in triathlons and races such as Ironman Florida, the Miami Half Ironman, the Iron Horse 50-mile race and St. Anthony's Triathlon. In 2010, he spent seven days in Chile during the Atacama Crossing, a 250K desert crossing that's about 155 miles long.
LITTLE LEAGUE: Kilcullen has had a long-running interest in fitness. Growing up, he played football, baseball and basketball. After college, he played pickup games of basketball and company softball games.
READY TO RUN: What piqued Kilcullen's interest in high-endurance, long-distance events was “Eco-Challenge,” an adventure race created by “Survivor” producer Mark Burnett that aired on television in the early 1990s. Kilcullen inquired about the race, and he got a packet of information in the mail.
