DAN MATHERS – PUBLISHER | EDITOR

Dan is a writer and editor with a long history of working for newspapers, boating magazines, marketing companies, and medical websites. But the outdoors have always been his true love. He is an avid hiker and fitness enthusiast who stumbled into the world of trail and ultrarunning. Don’t be fooled — he is a terrible runner. He has the short, stubby legs of a Jack Russell Terrier and the cardio of a three-pack-a-day smoker. But he’s plenty dumb enough to not know when to quit, so he’s completed several ultramarathons, including the Peak Races Bloodroot 100, the Infinitus 100, and 100 miles at the Hamsterwheel 30-Hour.

Dan is also the publisher and editor of the Northeast outdoors website Northeast Explorer. You can contact him by email at [email protected].
