Read what Knighton Runs athletes say about their coaching experience:

Hi, I’m Coach Chris Knighton!
I founded Knighton Runs Marathon Coaching to help marathon and half marathon runners train with confidence, get expert feedback, and pursue ambitious goals with a personalized plan built around their lives.
Knighton Runs is based in Providence, Rhode Island. I work with committed runners across the United States through personalized 1:1 online running coaching, while also offering private running lessons locally in Rhode Island.
Since 2019, I’ve helped more than 100 athletes run faster, train more consistently, and pursue goals ranging from new personal bests to Boston Marathon qualifiers.
Are you ready to team up and work toward your running goals together?
