PRO ULTRA MARATHON RUNNER & COACH

Chad Weller is one of South Florida's rising stars in ultra marathons. He competes in the 50k, 50 mile, 100k, and 100 mile races both in the US and internationally. This last year he finished his first 100 mile race, in the Florida Keys, and in the elite top 25% in the Thailand 100k. 

Weller has been an athlete since he could walk. At an early age, he focused on sports. His athletic success in high school as a D1 state basketball champion taught him that hard work pays off. Weller worked hard for years as a professional model, Weller traveled to New York, L.A., Paris, Milan, and London. His passion for running ignited when he realized that he could see much more of the city by foot than public transportation. When he wasn't working as a model, he would lace up his shoes and explore these cities. One of his most memorable achievements was running the Paris marathon in 2006 along with 65,000+ other competitors. 

Since his initial successes in marathon running, Weller has founded his own running company, R U Running, and is honored to representPrevent Child Abuse America, an organization that strives to prevent the abuse and neglect of our nation's children. Education is a keyfactor to cultivating healthy habits and healthy families.
