3. Lee Fidler
Who? Just look at this picture of Fidler (with Benji Durden, another consideration for this list, in tow on the bike) and tell me his beard doesn’t deserve to be acknowledged. Fidler’s beard deserves a lot of credit, even if the two-time Olympic Trials qualifier who finished 11th at the 1975 Boston Marathon doesn’t get nearly the recognition he deserves for his athletic achievements.
