visionrunusa - a top-10 fastest foot crossing of america

---

In 2016 Jason Romero set out to cross America on foot. He said it was a "Calling" from something larger than himself.

The 3,063 mile run began at Santa Monica Pier in Los Angeles, California and concluded on the steps of New York City Hall in Manhattan, New York. Jason averaged 51.5 miles/day and crossed America in 59.5 days - a top-10 fastest crossing in the history of the world (less than 300 people have crossed America on foot). His run established 4 new World Records for the blind and visually impaired (Transcontinental Run, 1,000 mile run, 10-day run and 6-day run). His route took him across 2 deserts, 3 mountain ranges and 13 states. Jason's mom was his only support crew for the two month odyssey. 

Running into the Dark is a memoir Jason wrote about the run, and his life-events leading up to the run. He is now a highly sought after motivational business speaker, who has been hired by likes of Amazon, Molson-Coors, Western Union, Anthem and Synchrony Financial. Jason also speaks to schools and is currently speaking in classrooms around the globe using technology as part of his INSPIRE THE CHILDREN initiative.
