Bart Yasso Has Competed in Road Races on all seven continents. In doing so, he's been attacked by angry birds in Antarctica; in Colorado, he was paired with a burro named Taco Bell, the fastest, meanest racer on four legs; he's competed in an ultra-marathon in Death Valley in July, where daytime temperatures can soar to 128 degrees; he's been chased by a rhino in Nepal; and he's run in the buff, having participated in the Bare Buns Fun Run in Washington State. And these are just a few of the highlights of Yasso's Life on the Run.
