My name is Tanner, and I live in the beautiful state of North Carolina, which I like to call the "Midwest of the South." I’ve been here since 2021 and have loved experiencing all the natural beauty the state offers.

My running journey began in the spring of 2023, when I started running for health benefits—and quickly became hooked. I started on the roads, then transitioned to running trails in Charlotte.

My running journey has brought me joy over the years. From running both on the roads and on the trails, the unique challenges that both sides of the sport bring are rewarding.

I signed up for my first trail race on St. Patrick’s Day, where I got doused in green dye, and from that moment, I was captivated by the thrill of racing.

Since then, I've completed several half-marathons, full marathons, and even several ultra-marathons.

After spending endless weekends in the Blue Ridge Mountains, I decided that it would be a fun journey to share my trail running experience with others. At Untamed Running Company, I take care of the route planning and logistics for you so that all you have to do is show up and be ready to take on a gorgeous day in the mountains!
