Chris Runs America

1. Running the perimeter of America

2. 50k (31.1) miles every day

3. Running every day of 2027

4. Beginning in Phoenix, Arizona and running counterclockwise

5. Chris, Melanie, their 2 young kids, and 2 others will embark on this journey together!

IT’S HAPPENING! Chris is running the perimeter of America next year! He, alongside his family will be traveling, living full time in an RV, to complete this mission.

In addition to any sponsors along the way that will help with large ticket items (RV, team salaries, RV ongoing expenses, recovery tools, supplements, running gear and safety gear) we will need smaller things that our loving and giving community wants to help with.

Full disclosure, as of January 2026, we have one sponsor who buys Chris’s running shoes every month. We are working towards making connections with companies and people to become sponsors to the mission.

In Q1 of 2026, money in this fund will go towards:

-rent

-shoes

-heated gloves

-socks

-food

-replacement of running clothes

-bladders

-maybe a few local races for a boost of fun

We have been asked multiple times if there is a way people can donate or be a part of this. Big or small, we SO APPRECIATE you! When we purchase anything for the run or Chris’s training, we’ll be making videos to show you how you are a part of the team.
