Harvey Sweetland Lewis (born April 1976) is an American ultrarunner, social studies and economics teacher, world traveler and public speaker.

Noted for his spontaneity as much as his dedication, Lewis often seeks new challenges to improve his health, with positive effects on the community or the environment as a side benefit. For example, he commutes to work every day of his own volition, usually running or cycling, but occasionally skiing or walking. Even on days immediately following an endurance race, he makes the six-mile round trip commute with his backpack filled with a change of clothes, his laptop, graded homework assignments and his packed lunch.

Lewis has run to work for most of his adult life: as a college student, a factory worker and even a car salesperson (before becoming a teacher). When interviewed after his 3:20 sprint finish at the inaugural Cincinnati Flying Pig Marathon in 1999, Lewis joked: "I am the only car salesman in America who runs to and from work."

Lewis frequently posts videos of his training strategies, endurance races and his morning-after commutes to his Ultra Runner social media outlet, highlighting the people who inspire him along the way while simultaneously holding himself accountable to his goals. Lewis encourages others to find a source of inspiration and pursue one's dreams.

Lewis is one of six male runners representing Team USA at the 2017 International Association of Ultrarunners (IAU) 24 Hour World Championship on July 1–2, 2017 in Belfast, Northern Ireland. Previously, he has represented Team USA at the last three 24-Hour World Championships in 2012, 2013 and 2014. Lewis's qualifying run for the 2017 championship was 157.9 miles on September 19, 2015, when he won the NorthCoast 24-Hour Endurance Run in Cleveland, OH, 18 years after participating in his first national championship.

Lewis has competed in well known events such as Badwater, Arrowhead Ultra and the Marathon des Sables, as well as lesser known endurance events such as the Ultra Gobi, where part of the challenge for the 50 participants is in self-navigating and self-supporting the 400 km course (250 miles) through the Gobi Desert in western China, Gansu province, with temperatures ranging from below freezing to 100 °F.

In July 2014, Lewis won the Badwater Ultramarathon near Death Valley, CA, in just under 23 hours and 53 minutes. This race is touted as the world's toughest foot race due to extremely hot temperatures and immense elevation changes throughout the course. Six months later near the Canada–US border in International Falls, MN, Lewis tied for second place at the Arrowhead 135, showing not only his adaptability for racing in any climate, but also his sportsmanship. He and fellow runner Jan Kriska battled for second place for most of the race, but in the end, both agreed to finish together tied for second, according
