47. Dan King - World Record Holder 60-65 Age Group Miler @ 4:49.08

Faster Forward with Troy Busot

With an Olympic hopeful runner for a father, and not wanting to compete with his siblings in the family business of running, Dan King pushed off his destiny early in his athletic life with wrestling and other activities.

In an effort to build fitness in the off season, he finally succumbed to Cross Country where he would show some of the early talent that would earn him a world record in the 60-64 age group mile with a blistering time of 4:49 as well winning the USATF Colorado Long Distance Runners of the Year for 2021.

In his own words, Dan doesn't consider himself competitive, but achievement-oriented. And I think you'll find him to be amazing.

So, if you're ready for the show, crank it up and let's go.
