Dane Rauschenberg is an extreme athlete who made his mark on the running world as the man who ran 52 marathons in 52 consecutive weekends. He has also run a 202-mile relay solo in just over 50 hours and completed a 350-mile run up the coast of Oregon in just seven days. He doesn't just know running, he has explored it to the deepest reaches of its mental, physical and emotional boundaries. Given Dane's background as a high school swimmer, he decided to give the triathlon world a go. Regardless of the sport, Dane has shown what can be done when we simply ignore the impossible. This is why we at the Spudman Triathlon are happy to welcome him as our first-ever speaker, as well as a fellow athlete competing in this year's Spudman!
