Board Member Spotlight – Dan Bardua

What is your current Board Position? At Large Member

How long have you been running and how long have you been a member of Indy Runners? I have been running for almost 25 years on and off. Started in middle school and continued
through high school and while at Butler. I’ve been part of Indy Runners for about 3 years or
so now.

Are you originally from the Indianapolis area? I am originally from Cincinnati, OH but relocated here after going to Butler.

Do you listen to anything while running?  If so, what? I am lucky enough to usually have a group to run with, even in the early weekday hours, so we have spirited conversation.

What is your favorite distance/race? My favorite race is probably the marathon. I have completed 12 in the last 11 years, and it always seems to draw me back in.

What do you enjoy most about Indy Runners? The club provides a lot of opportunities for runners of all different abilities. It’s truly focused on bringing people together to run, no matter what their pace is.

What is your favorite route to run? I have a route that goes from my house through downtown and along the White River trail near the zoo. It covers a lot of the city, and usually I will catch the sunrise coming up behind the city in the mornings.

What is your favorite running book/movie? Fight Club – “I ran. I ran until my muscles burned and my veins pumped battery acid. Then I ran some more. ”
