How Nev Schulman Turned a Bike Crash into a Marathon Comeback – with Purpose

Joining us this week is Nev Schulman, a TV host, a father of three, and a passionate runner. He's known to millions as the face of Catfish: The TV Show on MTV. Nev’s life took a scary turn this past August, when a bicycle accident left him with a spinal cord injury. Amazingly, just three months later, he defied the odds by completing the 2024 TCS New York City Marathon as a guide for Achilles International, helping blind runner Francesco Magisano, the director of the NYC Metro Region Achilles chapters, cross the finish line. Hear about how his recovery went and when and why he decided to run the marathon after having such a traumatic experience. Also joining the show is NYRR member and volunteer Dietmar Stork who has run 159 NYRR races. He’s also a volunteer leader at critical race events, including unloading buses at the marathon starting line.
