Kim Jones, born on May 2, 1958, in Sonoma, California, is a retired American marathon and road runner. Her journey in athletics began in high school, where she excelled in track events such as the 400 meters, 800 meters, and the mile. She won multiple state titles in these events, establishing herself early on as a formidable competitor. Inspired by Joan Benoit Samuelson, winner of the first women’s Olympic marathon in 1984, Kim transitioned to long-distance running later in her athletic career.
In 1984, Kim ran her first marathon, finishing with a respectable time of 2 hours and 48 minutes. Soon afterward, she began training under the guidance of Benji Durden, a notable U.S. marathoner best known for his runner-up finish at the 1983 Boston Marathon and his victory at the 1982 Honolulu Marathon. Under Durden's coaching, Kim advanced significantly in competitive road racing. In the 1988 U.S. Olympic Marathon Trials, she finished in fifth place with a time of 2 hours and 32 minutes.
Kim achieved the pinnacle of her running career in 1991 at the Berlin Marathon, where she recorded a personal best of 2 hours and 26 minutes and placed second overall. This performance made her the third-fastest female marathoner in the world at that time. Her result positioned her as a strong contender for the 1992 U.S. Olympic team, and she was widely viewed as a potential medalist for the Summer Games in Barcelona.
