This guy’s run over 30 marathons because, apparently, sanity is optional. He’s knocked out 3 London Marathons at some fancy “good for age” level, like that’s normal.

Six 100-mile races under his belt too, because 26.2 miles? Child’s play. He’s even podiumed at Centurion 100s, probably because everyone else got lost. Oh, and four Ironman finishes, because he’s allergic to free time.

Joe Kennedy, founder of Modern Day Warrior, is all about toughening up men because apparently, we’ve forgotten how.

No shortcuts here, just hard work to transform bodies and minds.

Joe used to think he didn’t need a coach, spent thousands on useless supplements, and finally figured out the right way.

Ben ‘Bungle’ Taylor is an ultra runner from Wales who’s tackled multiple Tough Mudders and the Epona 100—because, you know, why not?!

Ben has converted pig sty to a gym (as you do) and even built his own red light sauna. Oh, and he completely shattered his knee but still manages to clock up the miles and smash ultra events like it’s nothing. If that’s not dedication!

Dean Karnazes is basically a running superhero. This guy doesn’t just run marathons, he cranks out ultra marathons like it’s a casual stroll. He once ran 50 marathons in 50 states in 50 days! Oh, and he has run 350 miles without stopping.

Get this: he orders pizza midrun, folds it up like a burrito, and keeps going. Karnazes is an absolute legend. We’re all in awe, laughing, and wondering how anyone can run that far and still look like he’s having fun!

Matt Knaggs is the guy who got diagnosed with MS and thought, “You know what? Let’s make this harder!” Instead of kicking back, he decided to run marathons and ultras, because why not? Then he took it up a notch by signing up for MS Run the US and raised over $20,000 while doing it.

While most of us struggle to run for a bus, he’s crushing miles and making a difference. Absolute legend. He’s an inspiration, but also making the rest of us look seriously lazy!

Seasoned marathoner, living in Philadelphia, who’s tackled all the Abbott World Marathon Majors—Boston, New York, London, Tokyo, Berlin, and Chicago. With his fast times and heaps of experience, he’s got marathons down to a fine art.

But it’s not just about the miles; Colin’s also the expert on the quirky details, like which marathon has the best vibe and, of course, which one smells the nicest! He has the inside scoop on the world’s biggest races.

The genius behind We Run Wild NI—and his partner-in-crime Gillian have pretty much run the planet. They’ve tackled events all over the world, including the infamous Marathon des Sables, because, clearly, they enjoy suffering.

Gary’s mission is simple: to drag you into their off-road madness with epic races from 5ks to 100-milers. If you’re looking for inspiring routes, a killer atmosphere, and a race-day experience you won’t forget (mostly because it’ll haunt you), Gary’s your man.

Declan Leung is a smiling, super optimistic runner, with an addictive personality. By day, he’s with Athletics NI, and when he’s not busy there, he’s creating endless virtual runs through Virtualrunni.

But he’s not just about running. As a jack of all sports, whether it’s javelin, shot put, track work, long jump, or anything that involves getting out there and smashing it.

No pretending here—he’s the real deal!

Andy David, the man who somehow finds time to do it all. When he is not smashing the Yeti 100, he’s busy teaching or rescuing cats like some sort of superhero.

Oh, and did we mention he’s thriving with MS? Yeah, because why not add a bit more inspiration to the mix?

Andy’s the guy who makes you question life. Ultra runner, teacher, cat rescuer, and all-around legend.

John’s the ultimate dad on the run—literally! Balancing big races, a full-time job, and the all-important title of “Dad,” he takes on the toughest ultra events and still makes it home in time for dinner (and maybe a slice of pizza).

With a passion for Barkley Marathons, a love for epic endurance challenges, and a need for speed to return to his little girl, John’s proof you can push limits and keep family first.
