Dave Haase

This sentiment perfectly captures his journey through the Race Across America. 🚴‍♂️💫 His home of Fond du Lac, Wisconsin, couldn’t be prouder of their hometown hero. 🏠 #RAAMThrowback #DaveHaase #RaceAcrossAmerica #CyclingJourney #NeverGiveUp #20years

Despite the physical and mental toll of previous races, Dave persevered and became the top American finisher in 5 of his 7 attempts. 2024 is his 8th attempt. “When people tell me I’m completely nuts,” says Dave Haase, “that’s when I know I’m doing something special.”

Dave Haase’s incredible Race Across America journey in 2008 is featured in the book “United States of Delirium”, written by David Houghton. 📖🚴‍♂️ This is more than a tale of extreme cycling. It is a story about overcoming a challenge and longing to help others do the same.
