The Man Behind It

Glenn Hattem.

High-performance life architect · Mentor · Endurance athlete

For 30+ years Glenn has helped the most successful people on earth rebuild what success quietly took from them , executives, athletes, founders. His own life runs on the same principle: pick a big, hairy, audacious goal, go first, and prove it's possible. THE 3:16 is that next goal. In 2025 he ran 103 miles for the Colorado Cancer Foundation, six miles every four hours for seventeen rounds. He then completed the Great World Race: seven marathons, seven continents, seven days for Dignity Beyond Borders.

"I will go first again. This time, set a new world record."

The run ends. The mission does not. Someone has to lead. Someone has to go first and prove it's possible. That is what I was made for. The rest is yours.

Why 3:16

Twelve marathons. One verse.

12 × 26.2 mi = 314.4 mi → +1.6 → 316 mi ≈ John 3:16

The math gets us to 314.4 miles. Glenn rounds up to 316, a tribute to John 3:16. The verse that frames the whole movement.

"For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son…"

John 3:16

Every mile is the verse. Every verse is a life.
