Cinematic vlogging pioneer and filmmaker who made his 17-year quest to break 3 hours in the marathon one of the most compelling ongoing stories in running media. After a 2007 scooter accident shattered his femur — doctors said he'd never run again — Neistat committed to running a sub-3 marathon. He finally achieved it on his 24th attempt, running 2:57:34 at the 2023 Tucson Marathon. He continued racing the NYC Marathon in 2025. His running videos have introduced millions of non-runners to the sport.
