DEAN KARNAZES • The athletic feat seemed like something out of a science fiction novel. A guy named Dean Karnazes planned to complete 50 marathons in 50 states in 50 days. The year was 2006 and Karnazes, an ultramarathon runner from the Bay Area, was hardly a household name. But the 50/50/50 stunt was crazy enough to attract global media attention and berthed a New York Times bestseller, Ultramarathon Man: Confessions of an All-Night Runner, and a feature-length documentary that got a theatrical release. It also transformed Karnazes into a health and wellness influencer long before Instagram was a thing—and he didn’t even need to win a race.
