Martinus Evans Biography

Martinus Evans is an author, motivational speaker, and seasoned 8-time marathoner who inspires change in people who want to turn personal adversity into a catalyst for professional success and be unstoppable in their pursuit towards greatness. Born and raised next to a crack house in a challenging neighborhood of Detroit, MI, Evans experienced countless hardships including the tragic loss of his two brothers and witnessing violence and drug deals on the daily.

Despite these odds, Evans went on to get multiple degrees and had an extensive background in exercise science, digital marketing and men’s fashion before a pivotal moment in 2012 when Evans’ doctor bluntly told him that he had hip pain because he was fat, and that he needed to “lose weight or die”. This catapulted Evans into his running journey where he launched his blog, 300 Pounds and Running, ran 8 marathons, founded a global community of 40k+ runners called the Slow AF Run Club, partnered with big brands such as Nike and Adidas in campaigns that achieved global reach with hundreds of millions of views, and published his book which sold over 20,000 copies in the first 6 months... all in spite of his doctor’s initial skepticism.

Today, Evans is a recognized thought leader who has been featured in countless publications and media outlets such as The New York Times, LADBible, the New York Post, Huffington Post, Insider, The Wall Street Journal and Runner's World Magazine, and continues to inspire millions in overcoming adversity through his book and motivational talks.
