Saxon Harrar is an adventure athlete from Chicago, Illinois. He got a later start in running, and actually used to fake sick for the mile when he was in school. As he began to get into running, the first group he ran with was an ultra-runners group. After running in his first 5k race, he moved directly on to a 50-miler for his second race ever. As an adventure athlete, Saxon considers running as an easy staple sport to start off with, but is also an outdoor enthusiast interested in bike racing, rock climbing, and cliff diving. As he puts it, “It’s all about trying to get to places as fast as possible by any means possible… I think being self propelled is the coolest part of it all.”
