Dane Rauschenberg (born May 31, 1976) is a runner who ran 52 marathons on consecutive weekends in 2006 to seeking to raise $52,000 to benefit the Mobile, Alabama chapter of L'Arche Internationale, as part of an effort he called "Fiddy2."[1][2] [3] The 52nd and final race was run on December 30, 2006, with at least $32,000 raised to that point.[4]

Running resume

  • Running 52 consecutive weekly marathons in 2006 with an average time of 3:21.
  • Finishing first in a field of 52 runners the PT Cruiser Challenge (February 5-6, 2005), an event consisting of a 15k, 5k, and marathon within 24 hours in Tampa, Florida.[5]
  • Running 84 miles at the Presque Isle Personal Endurance Classic (October 18, 2003), a non-competitive event in Erie, Pennsylvania in which participants traverse a one-mile loop for up to 12 hours. [6][7]

Biography

Rauschenberg ran his first marathon in 4:12:07[8] at the Harrisburg Marathon. Two years later, Rauschenberg ran the Erie Marathon, in 3:29:04[9] and finished 52nd overall. Neither time was particularly impressive. However, soon thereafter Rauschenberg ran 84 miles the Presque Isle Personal Endurance Classic, in a non-competitive event where participants ran a 1.0 mile loop in Presque Isle State Park, in Erie, Pennsylvania.[6][7]

Rauschenberg next ran the 2004 Marine Corps Marathon in 3:31:13 finishing 685th. Three weeks after Marine Corps event, Rauschenberg ran another marathon in Maryland dropping his personal best 10 minutes. On January 9, 2005, Rauschenberg ran in the Phoenix Rock N' Roll Marathon in 3:09:55 in 154th place out of 7,365 finishers, which qualifies someone his age for the Boston Marathon.[10]

In recognition of his 52-marathon project, Rauschenberg was selected co-Male Runner of the Year by the 65-member Washington Running Club in 2006[11] and was named by the marathonguide.com website as one of the 20 outstanding USA marathon runners for 2006, in an effort to recognize those individuals whose participation in multiple marathons "show that marathoning is and can be part of one's regular routine."[12]

Fiddy2

Rauschenberg undertook to run 52 marathons on 52 consecutive weekends.[2] Later he added the goal of raising funds for the Mobile, Alabama chapter of L'Arche, an organization that assists individuals with mental disabilities, as a charitable beneficiary.[13]

Fiddy2 was overshadowed by two other marathon running projects in 2006: Sam Thompson and Dean Karnazes,[14] both ran 50 marathon distances on 50 consecutive days in 50 different states. In addition, at that time Richard Worley was running a series of 159 marathons on consecutive weekends.[15] In terms of the number of marathons in one year, Fiddy2 was overshadowed by Larry Macon who ran 79 in 2005.[16] As a result, Fiddy2 raised only $32,000 by the end of 2006.

Rauschenberg sought but did not obtain corporate sponsorship to underwrite the cost of his project.[17] Rauschenberg sent out weekly press releases and sought speaking invitations. As a result, Rauschenberg was asked to speak at marathon events throughout the year and was featured as a runner on race's websites and "tell your story" blogs.[18] [19][20]. Rauschenberg gained radio, television, and print coverage and he called attention to the project with a website[21] and blog[22]

Rauschenberg also organized the Drake Well Marathon, a 20-person marathon race on his hometown's high school track, as the next to last event of his 52-week project.[23]
