A member of the National Distance Running Hall of Fame, Salazar will share his experience and advice on how to improve your approach to running. Salazar set six U.S. records and one world record. His first marathon in 1980 was the fastest debut marathon at the time, and his victory over Dick Beardsley in the 1982 Boston Marathon is hailed as the most memorable battle in that race's history.
