On December 20, 2024, Ben Tracy, a leading keynote speaker on youth online safety and social media, finished his run across America - a feat achieved by fewer than 400 people - to raise awareness about these critical issues. Over the course of 125 days, he ran 120 marathons from coast to coast, covering 3,125 total miles.

Along the way, Ben delivered 50 online safety presentations, interviewed 10 grieving families who had lost children to social media-related harms, and participated in nearly 100 media interviews to advocate for youth online safety.

Since 2018, Ben has spoken to hundreds of thousands of students, parents, and educators nationwide. He speaks to more than 100,000 people each year about cyberbullying, online predators, the relationship between social media and mental health, and provides practical, proven strategies to keep kids safe online.
