TIME magazine named him as one of the “Top 100 Most Influential People in the World.” Men’s Fitness hailed him as the fittest man on the planet. An internationally recognized endurance athlete and NY Times bestselling author, Dean Karnazes has pushed his body and mind to inconceivable limits. His long list of competitive achievements include winning the world’s toughest footrace, the Badwater Ultramarathon, as well as racing in Western States 11 times. He has raced and competed on all seven continents on the planet, twice over. In 2006 he accomplished the seemingly impossible by running 50 marathons, in all 50 US states, in 50 consecutive days, finishing with the NYC Marathon, which he ran in three hours flat. In 2011 he ran 40-50 miles a day for 75 consecutive days to complete a 3,000-mile Run Across America, stopping along the way at the White House to be greeted and honored by First Lady Michelle Obama. He has been on The North Face global athlete team for almost 10 years and has helped develop their Performance product and running shoes to the quality that you see today.

A third of our youth in the US (25 million kids) are either overweight or obese. The direct medical cost of treating obesity related diseases is staggering, but the quality of life costs are even higher. Physical education programs are being eliminated from our schools at alarming rates, and open spaces where kids can explore the environment and enjoy the wonders of the great outdoors are disappearing. Karno Kids is dedicated to reversing this unfortunate trend.
As a foundation, KARNO KIDS provides direct financial support to organizations and programs that are focused on improving the health and wellness of our youth and on restoring and preserving the environment and urban open-spaces for their ongoing use and enjoyment including: Girls on the Run, The Conservation Fund, Inside the Outdoors and Action for Healthy Kids.
