Bart Yasso, Runner’s World Chief Runner

Bart Yasso has one of the most impressive endurance sports resumes of any athlete. Five Ironmans, solo unsupported bike ride across the U.S. in 22 days (155 miles per day), Badwater 146 Ultra and 150 marathons. But by itself this record is not enough to get into the Hall of Champions. He is America’s running ambassador. He has brought the joy of our sport to countless people. As the race and event promotion director at Runner’s World, Bart has traveled to most of the marathons in America helping new and old comers achieve success and fulfillment through leading groups and presenting seminars that emphasize the sometimes hidden joys of our sport.
