Martinus Evans Biography

Martinus Evans is an Emmy Award-winning keynote speaker, bestselling author, certified running coach, and founder of the Slow AF Run Club, a global running community with more than 200,000 members that supports runners of all paces, particularly those at the back of the pack. Evans began his journey into running after a doctor advised him to walk for weight loss, prompting him to commit to running a marathon instead. Prior to this, Evans had experience in exercise science, digital marketing, and men's fashion.

Evans has completed eight marathons and numerous other races, building a dedicated running community and appearing on the cover of Runner's World. He launched the blog 300 Pounds and Running and has partnered with brands such as Nike, Adidas, Westin, Saucony, Fleet Feet, Peloton, and Bombas in campaigns with significant global reach. His book, "Slow AF Run Club: The Ultimate Guide for Anyone Who Wants to Run," serves as a resource for new runners, especially those who do not fit the traditional runner profile, encouraging participation regardless of body size, athletic ability, or health challenges.

Evans hosts two podcasts: "The 300 Pounds and Running Podcast" and "The Long Run with Martinus and Latoya." He has been featured in The New York Times, Men's Health, The Wall Street Journal, Runner's World, New York Post, LADbible, HuffPost, Magnolia, and U.S. News & World Report. As a keynote speaker, Evans draws on his experiences in athletics and business to help audiences reframe obstacles and recognize opportunities. Through his work, Evans has established a platform where being a "back of the pack" runner is celebrated, emphasizing that running is about consistency and personal achievement rather than speed.
