Charles Wiegand

Charles Wiegand joined The Runner’s Soul staff in March 2011, and has enjoyed every second of it. He’s originally from north-central Indiana, and earned a Bachelor’s degree in Advertising from Indiana University. He started running during college (on a dare) and has been a passionate runner ever since. His favorite road race distances are the marathon and half-marathon, and historians will likely consider his 2^nd place finish at the 2010 Grand Rapids Marathon his most significant running achievement. Charles has been living and running in the La Grange area since 2004. If you are looking for a local running club, route or race, he always is happy to provide a great recommendation. With over a decade of experience in customer service roles, Charles understands the level of service required in running specialty. He always enjoys meeting new runners, and seeing them reach their goals. Charles is also an avid outdoorsman, and enjoys annual backpacking trips. His lifetime goal is to run the entire length of the Appalachian Trail.
