From April 1983 to April 1987, he walked solo around the world and became popularly known as “The Worldwalker.” The author or co-author of three books, he has given over 2,300 speeches to universities, schools, churches, companies, and other groups. The longest hiking trail in Ohio’s state park system, the (Steven Newman Worldwalker Perimeter Trail ), has been permanently renamed after him, and he has been honored with that state’s highest award, as well as with a doctorate in humanities.

== Biography ==
Newman was born in the village of Bethel, Ohio, to Bethel native Edwin Newman, who is of English and Scottish descent, and Mary Kennedy from Buffalo, New York, who is of Irish descent. His father, a salesman, met Mary, a nurse, when they chanced upon each other in an elevator at the University of Cincinnati. Mary was at that time a nurse for the singer Lena Horne. They married and lived in Bethel until Steven’s birth, at which time they moved to Florida for several years before returning to Bethel.
Steven lived in Titusville, Florida and Jacksonville, Florida until the finish of the fourth grade. His parents moved back to Ohio then, and he attended public schools in Bethel through grade 12. In high school he became well known for his ultra-long running feats and was given the nickname of “Bebe” (after a famous Kenyan marathoner of that time). He also took the opportunity during those years to hitchhike (without his parents’ permission) to several distant points across the USA. He graduated with a BS in Journalism from Ohio University in 1972. While at OU, he ran cross country, was successful in orienteering, participated in the ROTC program for three years, and took many English classes. He paid his way through college by working each summer as a uranium prospector in the wilds of Wyoming’s Red Desert. His boss was former Republican congressman John Wold, and the project Newman worked on (often alone with only his red collie Charley as a companion) was highly experimental in nature and shrouded in some secrecy.
