Dean Karnazes is more than just a marathon runner. He’s what’s described as an ultra marathon runner. His goal is to run 50 marathons in 50 days in 50 states.
He’s in Tulsa right now, running on the course that will be used for the Route 66 Marathon on Nov. 19.
He’s just finished the 22nd marathon, in Albuquerque, in his goal, and has 28 to go. You can read about his exploits at his blog.
The media has picked up on Karnazes’ daunting quest. Here’s a story in the Tulsa World, and here’s one from the Santa Fe New Mexican.
