Paul first envisioned leading casual running tours as a way to earn side-income while living in Madison, Wisconsin.

However, he quickly ran into a major roadblock: there was no easy way to market and book running tours outside of the biggest cities. Even after moving to Raleigh, North Carolina, the same problem persisted.

Undeterred by a lack of interest from established companies, Paul took matters into his own hands. He recognized the potential for private running tours in non-conventional markets and set out to create the platform that would make them possible.

Paul grew up a runner, but it took experiencing some of his best travel moments while running in places like Lexington, Virginia, Door County, Wisconsin, and Cagliari, Italy, to make him realize the countless spectacular running destinations that are secluded from mainstream running tour markets. This discovery fueled his drive not only to share these unique experiences with fellow runners but also to provide a realistic source of side income for local runners who want to proudly showcase their hometowns.
