He is a trusted running coach and passionate distance runner living in Providence, Rhode Island with his wife and 9-month-old daughter   Born in Boston, Massachusetts, Chris did not start running until his late twenties but quickly grew into a consistent top-10 finisher in road and trail races throughout New England. He has been a vegan athlete for his entire adult life and credits much of his success in sports to making healthy diet and lifestyle choices.   In 2014, Chris left a soul-crushing job to pursue his dreams. He thru-hiked the 2180-mile Appalachian Trail that summer and realized if he had the courage and capacity to accomplish this journey, he should easily be able to take on any life challenge.   Chris brings this mentally to his own running and coaching. He believes that the skills and confidence we develop to run faster marathons directly correlate to what’s needed to overcome any personal or professional challenge. Chris empowers his athletes to do what is necessary to go confidently in the direction of their dreams.   Chris received his USATF Level 1 Coaching Certification in 2019 and is Track & Field and Cross Country Coach at St. Mary Academy – Bay View in Riverside, Rhode Island.   Chris’s first book, Run Faster Marathons: The Proven Path to PR is available now on Amazon.   Knighton Runs Marathon Coaching was founded in the Summer of 2019 by Coach Chris and Erica Knighton. Our mission is to help passionate athletes run faster marathons and develop their confidence to take on any life challenge.
