Bart Yasso, 54, is the Chief Running Officer at the Runners World magazine, the largest selling sports magazine in the world. Bart is battling Lyme disease, and had one regret in his life – of never having run the Comrades Marathon, known as the greatest footrace on the planet. In a month from today, Bart will be running the Comrades, and fulfilling his dreams.
Over the years, Bart has been a prolific runner. From his profile page, we get to know something about his chequered running career. He is one of the few people to have completed races on all seven continents from the Antarctica marathon to the Mt. Kilimanjaro marathon. In 1987, Yasso won the U.S. National Biathlon Long Course Championship and won the Smoky Mountain Marathon in 1998. He has also completed the Ironman five times and the Badwater 146 through Death Valley.
In the video series below, Bart shares his emotions, desires, and challenges as he looks forward to running the Comrades on May 30th.
