  • Craig Virgin (Craig Steven Virgin; * 2. August 1955 in Belleville, Illinois) ist ein ehemaliger US-amerikanischer Langstreckenläufer. Virgin wuchs auf dem Bauernhof seiner Familie in der Nähe von Lebanon (Illinois) auf. Ein Geburtsfehler an seiner Harnblase wirkte sich lebensbedrohend aus und konnte erst operativ beseitigt werden, als er schon ein Teenager war. Als Schüler an der Lebanon High School spielte er zunächst Basketball und fing dann auf Empfehlung seines Trainers, der sein Ausdauertalent erkannte, mit dem Crosslauf an. Als Student an der University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign wurde er 1975 NCAA-Meister im Crosslauf. Im Jahr darauf qualifizierte er sich über 10.000 Meter für die Olympischen Spiele in Montreal, schied dort aber im Vorlauf aus. (de)
