John Stanton, the founder of the Running Room, entered his first 3K race in 1981. This out-of-shape, overweight beginner realized he had to change his lifestyle. He started to walk and run secretly before dawn so his neighbors couldn’t see this “chubby little guy” who could barely make it from lamp post to lamp post. Over 25 years later, John has completed more than 60 marathons and hundreds of race events and triathlons, including the Canadian and Hawaiian Ironman. His programs have helped over 700,000 people make it to the finish line, upright and smiling.


“I don’t believe anyone has done more for the sport of recreational running than John Stanton and the Running Room. The Running Room’s walking and running programs and clinics are highly respected across North America.”
FRANK SHORTER, Olympic marathon champion
