Robert Owens

Robert is embarking on his 5th major endurance event since last May when he completed “The 300 of Sparta March,” a 238 mile 8 Day run-walk across Greece from Sparta to Thermopylae. The event re-enacted King Leonidas and his 300 soldiers fight against the Persians in 248 BC depicted in “300” the movie and was a fundraiser for the four Navy Seals at Benghazi. Since then he has finished a 23 mile run-Swim-Run-Swim pier to pier from Southern Orange County to Newport Beach in 9 hours and completed SEALFIT’s Kokoro (Sealfit.com) where he was the oldest person to both attempt and finish this challenge. Kokoro is a 50 Hour non-stop Crossfit Games style Endurance Event put on by a group of Navy Seal Instructors. In November he followed up on Kokoro by doing Ironman Mexico – his 12th Ironman - and is now ready to take part in the World Marathon Challenge. Robert enjoys challenging himself physically. Not only do these endurance events provide that challenge, it also allows Robert to speak and mentor pro-athletes, University-athletes and military servicemen.
