About Spare Tire Running
Our Mission
The mission of Spare Tire Running is simple but powerful: Every Step Counts.
Spare Tire Running exists to encourage, support, and guide people—especially those who feel too slow, too big, or out of place—to start moving, keep moving, and believe they belong in the running community. It’s about breaking down the mental and physical barriers that stop people from starting and helping them build confidence one step at a time.
This mission is rooted in real experience. Running isn’t always fast. It isn’t always pretty. And it isn’t always easy. But it is for everyone. Spare Tire Running focuses on consistency over speed, progress over perfection, and community over comparison.
Whether someone’s goal is to walk their first mile, run a 5K, train for a marathon, or live a healthier life, Spare Tire Running exists to say: you belong, your journey matters, and your steps count.
Through coaching, content, races, and honest storytelling, Spare Tire Running aims to give back to the running community—helping others discover that running isn’t about how fast you go, but about showing up and moving forward.
