== Biography ==
==Background==
Rauschenberg was born in [[Titusville, Pennsylvania|Titusville]], [[Pennsylvania]], where he set numerous records as a high school swimmer. While earning varsity letters in [[track and field]], running was not what he saw himself competing in. After attempting to walk onto the [[Penn State Nittany Lions football|Penn State]] football team, Rauschenberg played rugby for two years before graduating in 1998.<ref>Price, Karen. [http://www.pittsburghlive.com/x/pittsburghtrib/s_622923.html "Charity makes marathon more meaningful"] {{webarchive|url=https://archive.today/20120906143928/http://www.pittsburghlive.com/x/pittsburghtrib/s_622923.html |date=2012-09-06 }}, ''[[Pittsburgh Tribune-Review]]'', April 30, 2009. Accessed December 19, 2010.</ref> He then attended law school at [[Penn State Dickinson Law]] where he began running to get into shape after putting on weight after college. After law school, and during a clerkship in [[Erie]], PA, Rauschenberg began running more. What would be a precursor to his long-distance athletic prowess, but was lost on Rauschenberg at the time was his winning the Presque Isle Endurance Classic - a 12 hour run where Dane amassed 84 miles.<ref>[http://erierunners.club/endurance/results_2003.html 2003 Presque Isle Endurance Classic Results]</ref>
Rauschenberg first marathon was the Harrisburg Marathon in 2001, which he finished in 4:12:07, 159th overall of 281 finishers.<ref>[http://www.marathonguide.com/results/browse.cfm?MIDD=1196011111 2001 Harrisburg Marathon Results]</ref> Two years later, Rauschenberg ran the Erie Marathon, in 3:29:04 and finished 52nd overall out of 319 finishers.<ref>[http://www.erie-runnersclub.org/marathon/results_2003.html 2003 Erie Marathon at Presque Isle State Park], Erie Runners Club, [[September 14]], [[2003]].

Rauschenberg next ran the 2004 [[Marine Corps Marathon]] in 3:31:13, in 685th place.<ref>[http://results.active.com/pages/searchform.jsp?rsID=3701 Marine Corps - Marathon Results], [[Marine Corps Marathon]], [[October 31]], [[2004]]. Accessed [[January 9]], [[2008]].</ref> Three weeks after the Marine Corps event, Rauschenberg ran another marathon in Maryland, dropping his personal best by 10 minutes. On [[January 9]], [[2005]], Rauschenberg ran in the [[Arizona Rock 'n' Roll Marathon]] in 3:09:55 in 154th place out of 7,365 finishers, qualifying for the [[Boston Marathon]].<ref>[http://results.active.com/pages/searchform.jsp#hot_links 2005 Race Results], P.F.

Leading up to Rauschenberg's 2006 effort, he ran a few marathons, qualifying for and running the [[Boston Marathon]].

==Fiddy2==
Rauschenberg decided to run a marathon each week and title the effort Fiddy2 in April 2005, later adding a charitable component. While searching for events, Rauschenberg found the Legg Mason First Light Marathon, which benefits [[L'Arche]], part of international network of faith-based communities centered around people who have developmental disabilities.<ref name=faq/>


Before 2006, some{{who|date=September 2012}} runners tried to see how many marathons they could run on consecutive weekends.

Rauschenberg aimed to raise $52,000 and selected the [[Mobile, Alabama]] chapter of L'Arche as the recipient of his effort. The local organization noted that they were "grateful that Dane is willing to share this with others".<ref name=WPost/><ref>Boyle, Tom.

Rauschenberg sought financial assistance for the project and obtained sponsorship in the form of free meals from a local restaurant, free running shoes, and a free website.

===Fiddy2: 52 marathons in 2006===
Late in the year, to preserve his streak of marathons, Rauschenberg organized the Drake Well Marathon on his hometown's high school track, as no other scheduled certified race existed at the time. The race was limited to 25 runners, with 21 runners from nine states participating, and was the penultimate event of his effort.<ref name=PittPost/>
Rauschenberg called his effort "Fiddy2," which in the initial planning stages, did not have a charity fund raising component.

Dane Rauschenberg
Dane Rauschenberg running the Buffalo Marathon in 2006
Born (1976-05-31) May 31, 1976 (age 48)
Titusville, Pennsylvania, U.S.
Known forCharity marathon runner

Dane Rauschenberg (born May 31, 1976) is an American long-distance runner and author who ran 52 marathons, one every weekend, throughout 2006.[1] He raised over $43,000 for charity, as part of an effort he called "Fiddy2".[1][2][3][4]

Background

[edit]

Rauschenberg was born in Titusville, Pennsylvania, where he set numerous records as a high school swimmer. While earning varsity letters in track and field, running was not what he saw himself competing in. After attempting to walk onto the Penn State football team, Rauschenberg played rugby for two years before graduating in 1998.[5] He then attended law school at Penn State Dickinson Law where he began running to get into shape after putting on weight after college. After law school, and during a clerkship in Erie, PA, Rauschenberg began running more. What would be a precursor to his long-distance athletic prowess, but was lost on Rauschenberg at the time was his winning the Presque Isle Endurance Classic - a 12 hour run where Dane amassed 84 miles.[6]

Leading up to Rauschenberg's 2006 effort, he ran a few marathons, qualifying for and running the Boston Marathon. Rauschenberg's first marathon was the Harrisburg Marathon in 2001, which he finished in a time of 4:12:07, 159th overall of 281 finishers.[7][8][9] Rauschenberg also ran the 2004 Marine Corps Marathon in 3:31:13, in 685th place.[10]

Before 2006, some[who?] runners tried to see how many marathons they could run on consecutive weekends. For example, Richard Worley had run a marathon on each of 159 consecutive weekends.[11] Others attempted to see how many different marathons could be completed within a single calendar year, with some runners reaching 90.[12] However, his enterprise competed for public attention with at least three other contemporaneous efforts, two of which involved running 50 marathons on 50 consecutive days.[13][14]

Running

[edit]

Fiddy2: 52 marathons in 2006

[edit]

Rauschenberg called his effort "Fiddy2," which in the initial planning stages, did not have a charity fund raising component. After contacting the First Light Marathon in Mobile, Alabama in the year prior to running the 52 marathons, Rauschenberg selected its beneficiary, the Mobile chapter of L'Arche, to be the recipient of his efforts.[3][15][16] He obtained partial assistance for his effort in the form of race entry fee waivers, free meals from a local restaurant, free running shoes, and a free website.[3] Rauschenberg reports that he did not obtain monetary donations to offset Fiddy2's costs, and estimated that total travel expenses related to the effort would be $20,000.[15][17][18] Rauschenberg distributed weekly press releases to promote the fundraising effort, submitted blog postings, and spoke at marathon events throughout the year, participating as featured as a runner on race's websites and various blogs, including being part of a small group of "rock stars" noted by the Little Rock Marathon.[17][19] Rauschenberg sought radio, television, and print coverage to raise awareness about the fundraising marathon project with a website and blog.

During the project, he ran marathons in Florida, Alabama, Maryland, Arkansas, Virginia, District of Columbia, Ohio, Indiana, Delaware, New York, California, West Virginia, Colorado, Washington, Oregon, Maine, Wisconsin, Nevada, Utah, New Mexico, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Texas, Missouri, Alaska, the Cayman Islands, and three in Canada.[20][21][22][23]

Late in the year, to preserve his streak of marathons, Rauschenberg organized the Drake Well Marathon consisting of 105.5 laps around the track at Titusville High School, his hometown's high school, as he was not aware of any other certified race scheduled for the Christmas weekend at the time.[18] The race was limited to 25 runners, with 21 runners from nine states participating, and was the penultimate event of his effort.[24]

Fiddy2 was one of at least four charity fundraising projects in 2006 that involved a runner running 50 or more marathons during that year.[25][26][27] Rauschenberg ran his 52 consecutive weekly marathons in 2006 with an average time of 3:21:16.[20] In recognition of Rauschenberg's efforts, he was named by the marathonguide.com website (a marathon reference website[28]) as one of the 20 outstanding USA marathon runners for 2006, as part of an effort to recognize those individuals whose participation in multiple marathons "show that marathoning is and can be part of one's regular routine."[29] The 52nd and final race was run on December 31, 2006, with $32,000 raised at that time.[24]

In 2007, Rauschenberg switched his career to race organizing and as a motivational speaker discussing his 52-marathon experience and offering suggestions about running as an aspect of a healthy lifestyle.[30]

Running 202-mile American Odyssey Relay solo

[edit]

In 2010, Rauschenberg ran the American Odyssey Relay, usually a 12 (or 6) person relay covering the 202 miles (325 km) from Gettysburg, Pennsylvania to Washington, D.C., in the time of 50 hours and 16 minutes by himself.[31][32][33][34][35]

A documentary entitled "No Handoffs" was made about the effort and successfully funded by Kickstarter in 2014.[36]

350-mile run on the Oregon Coast

[edit]

In 2012, Rauschenberg ran the 350-mile (560 km) length of the Oregon Coast, from the border of California to the border of Washington state in seven days.[37] Rauschenberg spent an entire week running the full length of the Oregon coast averaging about 50 miles (80 km) a day. Stopping at four coastal high schools along the way, and returning to Portland on April 9 to visit a fifth high school, Rauschenberg's mission was to send a healthy message to kids.[38][39]

Awards and recognition

[edit]
  • Asked to participate as a "charity chaser" at the 2007 Frederick Marathon, the first in race history, where he would start last and raise five dollars for every runner he passed during the race.[40][41] He reprised this role again at both the Baltimore,[42] Pittsburgh, and San Francisco[43] marathons.
