Kevin Brinegar and Chad Carroll started Running Adventures in 2003 with the first trip to Colorado. As coaches at Lathrop HS in Fairbanks, Alaska, Kevin and Chad were looking for a way to motivate their runners to train more in the summer for the fall cross country season. Kevin has coached runners for 12 years and when not coaching, he is a Disease Intervention Specialist for the Fairbanks Regional Public Health Center. Chad also has coached runners for 12 years and he is a math and PE teacher at Lathrop High School.

Liz Anderson joined the staff in 2007 on the camp's return trip to Colorado. Liz has coached high school runners for 4 years and she brings her nutrition expertise to the camp as a Registered Dietician. When she is not coaching, Liz works at Bassett Hospital as a dietician.
