The Denver Colfax Marathon is an annual competitive marathon held in the Denver metropolitan area in Colorado, which has been held every May since 2006. On May 15, 2022, Daniel Larson completed the marathon held for that year.
Background
Daniel posted his intent to run the marathon on March 24, 2022 on /r/Daniellarson.[1] The next day, he asked what charity he should support in the marathon.[2] On April 2, he restated his intention to run the marathon.[3]
Daniel was actually pretty athletic prior to his social media fame / the pandemic. Despite this, some fans speculated that Daniel was in such poor health that he would not even be able to complete the marathon.[4] It is unknown why he chose to enter the marathon, but given his performance, he was clearly not focused on setting a record.
For reference, a marathon is 26.2 miles (42.1 kilometers).
Marathon
Daniel arrived at the marathon appearing to wear a backpack, though he would end up removing it.[5]
Results
Daniel placed 165th out of 166 who finished in his division of 20-29 year old men.[6] His pace indicates that he never ran any faster than a light jog. Almost all images of Daniel taken during the marathon show him with his phone in his hand, so it is safe to assume he spent a fair amount of the marathon interacting with fans.
Despite the fact he was second to last, the fact that he was able to complete a marathon is impressive in itself, especially given his homelessness, lack of preparation / training, and health. The fact is that he will probably never be able to do something like this again - mostly due to his trench foot and other health conditions.
