Eight times running satirist Dumb Runner hit home (and made us laugh)

Mark Remy, aka Dumb Runner, spent years writing for major running publications before launching his own site, what he calls “an online destination for runners who enjoy laughter and pie.” Every time I open social media to find an all-too-accurate but hilarious Dumb Runner cartoon or article I’m reminded that there are other weirdos out there like me.

Portland-based Remy is a runner and a cyclist whose real-life running resume boasts 28 marathons, nine of those at Boston. Remy’s work, while always making us chuckle, often hits just a tad close to home. We picked a few of our Dumb Runner faves to brighten your week.
