About the Challenge
To kick off the national launch of Accelerade, Dean Karnazes will aim high. On June 21, his goal will be to break the world record for a 24-hour distance run on a treadmill (currently set at 153.76 miles) as well as to raise awareness for Athletes for a Cure, an organization dedicated to finding a cure for prostate cancer. The treadmill will be located on a platform attached to the Reuters building in Times Square.
About Dean Karnazes
Dean Karnazes has been hailed as America's best runner. From completing 50 marathons in 50 days to tackling a 200-mile relay race, alone. He is no stranger to endurance, physical fitness and nutrition. Oh, and we should mention that his resting heart rate is 39 bpm. We think that's pretty incredible.
