About Trail Chump
Trail Chump
Trail Chump began as a joke with a coworker, poking fun at my shift from competitive runner to “just a chump” on the trails. Embracing the name, I now share my journey back into running, proving even a chump can chase big goals while inspiring the running community.
Frank aka Frank Chump
Meet Frank, my 2.5-year-old rescue pup and ultimate adventure buddy! A mix of Border Collie, Cattle Dog, and Australian Shepherd, Frank loves running, hiking, races, and rocking bandanas. He’s a friend to all—people, dogs, and trails alike. Spot him out there? Come say hi; he’d love it!
Our Mission
At Trail Chump, we celebrate the journey—whether it’s lacing up your shoes for the first time, rejoining the running community after time away, or chasing ambitious personal goals. We believe that running is more than just miles; it’s a space for reflection, connection, and growth.
Our mission is to share authentic experiences from the trail, embracing every stumble, triumph, and random thought along the way. Trail Chump is about building an inclusive community where everyone feels inspired to pursue their own finish line—on the trails, in life, or in the dreams they’re chasing.
We’re here to remind you: no matter your pace, every step forward is worth celebrating. Let’s hit the trails together.
