"Run with Dean” at a School Near You

Nationally syndicated hit TV show LIVE! with Regis & Kelly is partnering with ultra-marathon runner, author and motivator Dean Karnazes for a cross-country run to encourage physical activity and to raise money and awareness for Action for Healthy Kids.

The amazing 3,000-mile trek, Regis and Kelly’s Run Across America with Dean Karnazes,  kicks off Feb. 25, 2011, in southern California at Disneyland and ends three months later in New York City. Tagged the "Ultramarathon Man" for good reason, Karnazes will run an average of a whopping 40-50 miles a day – or nearly two marathons every day to reach his goal. He'll complete this remarkable journey in mid-May by running into LIVE!’s New York City studio.

But before he reaches the finish line, Karnazes will stop at designated schools and other special venues in many cities for organized “Run with Dean” 5k events in which local runners can join the ultra marathoner and be a part of his extraordinary cross-country trek. Those locations, along with the dates Karnazes is scheduled to arrive, are listed below.
