Train. Compete. Represent. Triumph.

Run the Edge was founded by competitive runners, Adam Goucher and Tim Catalano.  After running together at CU Boulder, Adam went on to become an Olympian, while Tim continued racing and coaching. 

Today, Run the Edge is about all types of movement, promoting community and an active and healthy lifestyle, but we are still tied to our roots of competitive running. 

RTY 2026 will be the first year the Run the Edge is offering a sponsorship program for a few of our local and professional runners who participate in at least ten (10) USATF-sanctioned races per year.  

Run the Edge Athlete Sponsorship

To become a Sponsored Run the Edge Athlete is to join a community-driven team built on dedication, resilience, and the pursuit of possibility.
