Clarity and Courage in the Face of Today's Adversities
What’s good? Welcome. I’m Martinus Evans, an award-winning speaker, eight-time marathoner, bestselling author, and founder of the Slow AF Run Club. My story isn’t just about running; it’s about overcoming the odds, embracing who you are, making the best out of personal hurdles, and inspiring others to do the same.
From growing up next to a drug den in Detroit to battling health and personal adversities, I like to think of my journey as a testament to what’s possible with resilience–something ANYONE can develop with the right guidance. (It’s me. I’m the right guidance.)
He had me laughing one minute and tearing up the next. Martinus is not just a great speaker, he’s a storyteller.

The Reviews Are in
I would definitely recommend Martinus as a speaker. He was an excellent speaker and was very relatable to the audience that we had at the store. He engaged with people so well and people enjoyed hearing his story. You could tell that others hearing his story were encouraged by his example and it motivated them to see themselves as a runner no matter what their pace was. When someone has a passion for helping others it comes through and we could tell Martinus has this passion.

I had the good fortune of meeting and hearing Martinus speak at the NSA Thrive conference in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Your message and profound essence made such an impact on me Martinus! Authenticity is such a key component of connecting with the audience and dang, you showed up for the audience! You are a dynamic and engaging presence on the stage. Your powerful message hit the souls of the NSA members and you were riveting in your message on authenticity. Thank you for sharing your journey and demonstrating exactly what is necessary to be an amazing keynote speaker.
Suzy Easterling-Wood, Speaker and Thought Leader
We invited Martinus to our town during his Run Slow AF book tour in 2023. We rented an outdoor venue in close proximity to our store and began telling our community about this opportunity. We packed the house! Martinus has a way of making you feel comfortable and seen, in a way that a lot of people need to feel seen. He is warm, kind, and has an infectious smile and laugh. I just wanted to hug him, and support his cause and mission in any way possible. People need to hear this message. Anyone can get started. Not only did he open people’s eyes about what is possible, he created a safe space for people to speak about their experiences. This was not just an event…it was a movement! Give Martinus a platform! Trust me, you will not be disappointed.
