Meet Ray Zahab

Until late 1998, Ray was a sedentary smoker. Since then he has proven that the impossible is in fact possible by running across the Sahara and setting a Guinness World Record on foot to the South Pole.

The founder of impossible2Possible (i2P), has won numerous international ultra marathons of distances from 100 to over 200 miles in length in some of the harshest conditions on the globe. In 2007 he and two other runners ran 4,600 miles across the Sahara Desert in Photo4-Ray111 consecutive days bringing awareness to the water crisis in Africa. The documentary about the crossing, Running the Sahara, was directed by Oscar winner James Moll and narrated by Matt Damon. Ray was recently a member of the i2P South Pole Quest team, a record-setting crossing of the continent to the south pole.

Ray is an established ultra marathoner who uses his athletic career to support initiatives and causes he believes in. Ray is official Athletic Ambassador and board member for the ONEXONE organization and is a board member of the Ryan's Well Foundation. In addition to his running adventures, Ray speaks around the world spreading the message that we all have the ability to achieve anything we set our minds to and, in fact, the impossible is possible.

Through the years, both Marshall and Ray have learned that the real successes in life come when you do for others. They find great joy in teaching others and sharing their life and training, running, and racing experiences with people like you. Both are also dedicated philanthropists and will share ideas with you about how you can run for a reason. They will also share ideas about how you can run with the least amount of impact on the earth.

Meet Lisa Smith-Batchen

Lisa is a world reknown elite ultra runner, ironman competitor and adventure racer. She is a woman of many "firsts." She is still the ONLY American to win the Marathon des Sables stage race through the Moroccan desert and has twice won the Badwater Ultramarathon, considered one of the toughest races in the world. She is also the first and only person to ever have run 50 miles a day in 50 states in the USA in 62 days!

Lisa is also a proven coach and motivator whose knowledge of health, fitness and nutrition has helped hundreds of individuals achieve their specific goals. She and her husband, Jay Batchen, are the heart of Dreamchasers Outdoor Adventures.
