Vegan ultrarunner Harvey Lewis can’t be stopped

Vegan ultrarunner Harvey Lewis, aged 47, continues to defy the odds and push his limits in ultramarathons. Since July 2021, he has won five grueling ultramarathons, with distances ranging from 100 to 450 miles. In October 2023, he ran for 108 hours and covered 450 miles to win the Big Dog’s Backyard Ultra, a last-person-standing event where participants must complete a 4.17 mile loop every hour on the hour.

Harvey, who has been vegan since 2016, credits his plant-based diet for his strength and longevity as an ultrarunner. He believes in connecting with nature and the power of consuming a variety of plant-based foods. His exceptional endurance and success in ultramarathons highlight the potential of vegan athletes in pushing the boundaries of physical performance.
