Dan Campbell
Meet Our Athletes Introducing another one of our strongly steadfast athletes, Daniel Campbell!
Dan joined our group this year with one simple goal in mind: just keep running. Whether it’s a neighborhood loop or lining up at a race, consistency and perseverance fuel every stride. While Dan’s favorite distance is the half marathon, he has tested his limits with 4 full marathons (all after turning 60!), so it’s no surprise that his dream races are the iconic NYC and London Marathons! He diligently applies to both lotteries every year in hopes he gets a bib!
The best piece of advice Dan has received, which he also gladly shares with fellow runners, is to slow down and enjoy the run. It’s about more than pace; it’s about being present. That mindset keeps him grounded, especially when runs get tough. Those are the moments when Dan reconnects with his WHY to get him through.
Dan’s post-run reward has changed over the years. While beer and pizza used to be his go-to, a Celiac’s diagnosis has made bananas his current post-run staple. Not nearly as exciting, but always just as hard earned.
This weekend you can catch Dan lacing up and toeing the line at the Independence Blue Cross Broad Street Run as he enjoys 10 fun miles around the City of Brotherly Love, Philadelphia!
Good luck and have the best time, Dan! We can’t wait to hear how much fun you have!
