Get to know the Runner’s Edge coaches
Founded by David Manthey in 2003, we’ve grown to successfully help over 1,000 people achieve their distance running goals!
Since our very first training session in 2003, our training philosophy has been to focus on the total health of the athlete first and foremost, helping runners achieve their goals while keeping in balance with life’s priorities. We also believe in the power of individualized coaching within an organized, social and fun group setting.
We have members training for their first 5K and those who have qualified for Boston, those who have won their age groups in marathons, completed 100-mile ultras, and everyone in between! Many other running groups are focused on training for a specific race, but as a member of Runner’s Edge of the Rockies, you will enjoy the benefit of choosing whatever race you want as your goal, and we’ll provide the detailed plan to get you there.
Whether you want to complete or to compete, you’ll be amazed by what you can achieve when you train in our supportive, expert-led environment. Distance running is an individual sport, but nobody said you have to train alone!
