Dean Karnazes: Run Far

Prepare to sprint into an UNBELIEVABLE true story! Join Ben & Pia as we rewind the wild, inspiring adventures of ultrarunner Dean Karnazes — from a midnight birthday run in San Francisco to running fifty marathons in fifty days across all fifty states. What makes this story special for young explorers? It shows how one small choice can lead to giant adventures, how teamwork, planning, and smart rest keep heroes safe, and how nature (hot deserts and icy poles) becomes both challenge and classroom. Historical Fun Fact: In 2006 Dean completed the Endurance Fifty — 50 marathons in 50 consecutive days across all 50 U.S. states — a feat of logistics, teamwork, and careful pacing. Did you know? Which is more surprising: that he once ordered a pizza and ate it while running, or that he ran a marathon at the South Pole in freezing winds? Which story do you want to hear next? Tell Ben & Pia in the comments and they might rewind it next! #LetsRewind #DeanKarnazes #Ultramarathon #AdventureStory #HistoryPodcast #Running #Inspiration
