Motivational Speaker Shane Johnson is training for his attempt to break the world record for Fastest Marathon Carrying a 100 lb pack.

The current record holder is William Kocken who ran a marathon on May 20th 2018 in Green Bay, Wisconsin. His time was 6:27:59

William ran the Cellcom Green Bay Marathon to help raise funds for US Military Veterans through the organization HOOAH Inc.

Shane Johnson will make his attempt on September 15th, 2018 at the Wet Hot American Summer Race Series organized by Masters of All Terrain.

The location for this event is:
Hal Scott Wildlife Preserve
5150 Dallas BLVD
Orlando, FL 32833

This organization hosts Half-Marathons, Marathons, Ultra Marathons in the Run In The Wild Series as well as The Metropolitan Adventure race. The distance races are entirely off road, through trails, fields, woods, and in interesting, beautiful backdrops to improve the look and feel of the race.

Shane will be attempting to break the world record after completing his 2nd Hike Across America initiative. This year Shane has partnered with The Pink Bow Foundation to raise awareness about teen homelessness and suicide in America.

Starting July 4th Shane will run 22 miles a day for 65 days.

Last September after being delayed by hurricane Erma, Shane begun his first Hike Across America. He ran 22 miles a day for 65 days threw 9 states from Orlando to Camp Pendelton, CA to raise awareness about Veteran Homelessness & Suicides. On the last leg of his journey, Shane ran non-stop from Malibu to Camp Pendelton, CA. All this while wearing a 30lb pack. The 22 miles he ran represented the estimated number of Veteran Suicides committed every day. During the hike he inspired thousands with his message of hope & inspiration at homeless shelters in over 20 cities. He also distributed 10,000 hygiene kits supplied by Clean The World to those in need.

To prepare himself mentally, physically & spiritually for Hike Across America, Shane trained with Pinklon Thomas World Heavy Weight Champion 84-86 .

In addition to running 22 miles a day across the country, Shane also ran marathons and ultra-marathons. On October 22, 2017 he ran That DAM Half and 5K in Grand Prairie, Texas wearing his pack. His time was 3:14:27

On November 3, 2018 Shane finished 6th at the grueling 41.5 mile ultra-marathon Trails of Glory in Cottonwood Valley, Nevada.

Walt Disney once said "Whatever the mind of man can conceive and believe, it can achieve.

For Motivational Speaker, Businessman & Marine Shane Johnson this principle has become a way of life.
