Dag Aabye

Dag Aabye is an endurance runner known for competing in the 125-kilometer Canadian Death Race, held yearly in August in Grande Cache, Alberta. The race is extremely grueling, with over 17,000 feet of climbing. He is also known for his reclusive lifestyle, as he lives in a renovated bus not far from Silverstar Road in British Columbia, Canada. In 2018, filmmakers Justin Pelletier and Adam Maruniak released a documentary on him entitled Never Die Easy: The Dag Aabye Story. A book-length profile of Aabye by Brett Poppelwell, "Outsider," was published in 2023.
