North Face Endurance 50

Dean Karnazes seeks to redefine human limits in The North Face® Endurance 50
The venerable marathon has assumed a sacred place in the heart of athletics. 26.2 miles. More than 45,000 strides. Agony and euphoria. Some have described it as experiencing all of life’s emotions in one, five-hour span.

And Dean will attempt to run 50 of them: 50 marathons, in 50 states, in 50 consecutive days.

Known as The North Face Endurance 50 (“E50”, for short), this test of human fortitude will begin on September 17 at the Lewis & Clark Marathon in St. Louis, Missouri, and conclude 50 days later in New York’s Central Park, at the finish line of the legendary New York City Marathon.

Dean will be running roughly 4:30 to 5:00 hour marathons, that translates to about 10:00 to 11:40 minute miles.
