SeriousRunning.com is owned and operated by Blue Spruce Ventures, LLC.  We love the great outdoors and that is what inspired us to develop our outdoor websites.  Whether it is mountain biking, camping, or trail running, we love to be active and outside.  We developed SeriousRunning.com because as Trail Runners we found there wasn’t any one resource for Trail Runners to find running trails, discuss trail races, browse trail running shoes, and share stories and information.  SeriousRunning.com was built as a place for Trail Runners to meet and share information and maybe even promote the sport that we love so much.  So browse the website, let us know what you think or ways we can improve it.  We’re here for for you other Trail Runners.  You contact us at chris@seriousrunning.com or info@seriousrunning.com.

Happy Trails,

Chris
