​
Jim Dreyer's ultra-marathon career, while unorthodox in its very nature, has
followed a natural progression ... partly out of necessity, but mostly as an effort
to continuously raise the bar.
​
He started his career in 1998, by swimming 65 miles across Lake Michigan in a
style customary to a marathon swimmer ... he followed a support boat.
​
By 2000, just swimming wasn't enough. He began combining Ironman-distance
running and biking with swimming record distances across Great Lakes ...
something previously unheard of ... and other than Dreyer, still unheard of.
His pinnacle multi-sport event was a 56-mile swim across Lake Ontario,
immediately following a 26.2 marathon run through the beach sand and a
130-mile leg on the bike.
​
In 2003, Dreyer once again ventured as a pioneer ... swimming the length of Lake Michigan self-sufficiently (422 miles in 18 consecutive stages), towing the weight of his supplies from his ankles. In doing so, he discovered that swimming in such a manner may be the key, and the only way to successfully swim across Lake Superior.
​
The Shark completed crossing his fifth Great Lake in 2005 with a continuous 60-mile, self-sufficient swim of Lake Superior ... swimming alone through raging seas and navigating his way to Canada while towing 250 pounds of supplies from his waist.
​
After bearing the weight of his supplies through grueling ultra-marathon events, starting in 2013, feats of strength like towing large numbers of bricks, car ferries and barges across wide expanses of water, seem a natural progression for Jim Dreyer.
​
Now, Jim Dreyer has embarked on the new Mission Twenty-Two adventure series, in support of U.S. military veterans, something he has always wanted to do.
Used to bearing a great deal of weight, Dreyer has set out to set new world records while wearing a 22-pound military ruckpack. Check it out!
"The Shark" salutes his Personal Sponsors who support him, the athlete, year around in all of his training and adventures.
