Martinus Evans Biography

Martinus Evans is a proud fat marathon runner, author, certified running coach, and award-winning speaker who helps plus-sized people get active without the pressure of weight loss.

A native of Detroit MI, he’s the host of The 300 Pounds and Running Podcast, co-host of The Long Run with Martinus and Latoya Podcast, and founder of the Slow AF Run Club, an online community connecting slow runners around the globe. Slow AF was built to inspire, motivate, and educate. It celebrates the grit and grind of runners at “the back of the pack.”

He originally got his running start with his blog, 300 Pounds and Running in 2012. Martinus launched the blog and started running after his doctor called him fat, laughed at him and told him that he was going to die. His story has been featured in NY Times, LADBible, the NY Post, Huffington Post, Insider, U.S. News & World Report, The Wall Street Journal, Runner's World, and more. Furthermore, Martinus graced the cover the Jan 2022 edition of Runner's World Magazine.

Martinus is a global ambassador for Adidas—the commercial that he was featured in has garnered over 12.5 Million Views on YouTube. On top of that, he’s also worked with Nike, CDC Foundation, Meundies, Dick's Sporting Goods, Oakley, Hoka One One, Saucony, and Mizuno—just to name a few. He’s worked with the Boston, Detroit, Oakland, and Big Sur Marathons as well as other races and running organizations.

To top this all off, he’s got degrees like a thermometer. He holds a BS in Exercise Science: Health Fitness (Health Fitness in Preventive and Rehabilitative Programs) from Central Michigan University and a MS in Health Promotion Sciences, Graduate Certificate in Health Promotion and Health Education, and a MA in Digital Media and Design from the University of Connecticut. He is also a board member of the Council on Black Health.

Martinus currently resides in Brooklyn, NY. When he’s not running races around the world he enjoys DJing and listening to music, watching movies with his wife Char (and beating her at UNO). He also loves playing fetch with his rescue dog Mabel.
