Dumb Runner is me: Mark Remy. I’m a runner, cyclist, and writer in Portland, Oregon. I’ve written four books about running plus a dumb training journal, and for many years contributed to Runner's World. As executive editor of RunnersWorld.com, I led the website to a 2008 National Magazine Award for General Excellence Online. I also wrote the popular Remy's World column for RunnersWorld.com from September 2007 to May 2015 and, for a while, a print version under the same name.

I’ve worked on other stuff, too.

I have run 28 marathons, including nine Bostons. At the 2017 and 2018 Boston Marathons I ran with Team With a Vision, acting as a guide for a blind runner. My PRs are 2:46 for the marathon, 1:16 for the half-marathon, and 16:29 for 5K. All of those times are from 1999.

Time marches on.

In November 2015, I launched Dumb Runner, "an online destination for runners who enjoy laughter and pie."

That's me in the Dumb Runner logo, by the way. I had that mustache back in 2014... for about five minutes. But now it is preserved for all time, because my wife can't make me shave my logo.
