Dan Hamner

A 68-year medical doctor who is set to become the oldest person ever to compete in the North Pole Marathon. Dan has had a private practice—Dan Hamner M.D., Sports Medicine & Rehab—in New York City since 1985. He is also an accomplished athlete with two world records in his current 60-69 age group. In his 50s, he ran a half marathon in 1:17:42—and he can do 30 pull-ups at a time. Dan intends to run the North Pole Marathon about one month short of his 69th birthday. He has appeared on numerous television and radio shows and has written for various publications. See his website, www.drdansportsmd.com, which includes a media page with a short video of his Caveman Workout as seen on television. *To donate to his charity, please visit www.tinyurl.com/northpolemarathon.
