edit data

Jared Beasley is a New York based author and journalist whose work has appeared in The New York Times, The Guardian, Canadian Running, and Outside. Two of his articles were recognized among Runner’s World’s top ten stories of 2020, and he has been featured on podcasts such as Ultrarunner, Author’s Stories, Bad Boy Running, and The Shakeout Podcast. He writes a monthly column, “Detours of the Lost and Found,” for Ultrarunning Magazine.

His debut book, In Search of Al Howie, earned rave reviews and a Kirkus star for literary merit. Adventure Journal described it as a moving biography that recalls an unplugged era of human-powered adventure. Beasley has since contributed over 50 ultrarunning features to major media outlets.
