Miles Your Way was founded in 2026, but the idea behind it has been happening for years. School teams, Run Clubs, Running Tour Guide, it all builds to this.
Every group run starts the same way: strangers meet up, introduce themselves, and ask two simple questions — How far are you running? And how fast are you going? Then we head out together.
I'm a former college runner and a sub-3-hour marathoner, but that isn't what Miles Your Way is about. I run to help other people achieve their goals.
Maybe you're running to get healthier. Maybe you're training for your first 5K, chasing a personal best, preparing for a marathon, trying to improve your fitness, or simply looking for a reason to get out the door. Maybe running is your way to clear your head and feel better.
We all run for different reasons.
You don't have to be an experienced runner. You don't have to be fast. You don't even have to have a race on the calendar. If you want to move more, stay active, build a healthier habit, or simply have someone to run with, let's go after it together.
Your watch or phone can tell you that you've been sitting too long.
But it can't be your accountability partner. I'll bring the miles and the company.
Pat has been running for a long time—25 years and counting
Over the years, Pat has run with all kinds of groups, from beginners to experienced runners chasing big goals. For the running nerds out there, Pat broke 2 minutes in the half mile in high school, ran a sub-16-minute 5K in college, and finished his first marathon—the NYC Marathon—in under 3 hours. And yes, he’s run the Boston Marathon.
But none of that is really the point. I've learned that sometimes the hardest part of running is simply getting out the door.
What Pat has learned from 25 years of running is that every runner is on their own journey, and every runner has a story.
He also believes run clubs have become the modern-day neighborhood bar—a place where people come together, spend time with one another, and build connections. You can have someone in their 20s running alongside someone in their 70s, both getting their miles in and enjoying the same conversation. There’s something pretty special about that.
And it almost always starts with the same two questions:
“How far are you running?”
“What pace are you running?”
That simple conversation is what inspired Miles Your Way.
Pat wanted to create something different: the feeling of having your own personal run club, built around your schedule, your goals, your pace, and your life. Whether you're trying to get in shape, training for a race, getting back into running, or simply looking for someone to run with, sometimes having another person there makes all the difference.
Miles Your Way is about meeting people where they are—and helping them keep moving forward, one mile at a time.
