Welcome to Running Ventures
Running Ventures was formally established by Barb Leininger in June, 2000. A life long runner who began racing in 1977, Barb decided to devote full time to the many facets of her running world.
Today Running Ventures offers:
- Custom coaching to individual runners and groups of all ages and abilities
- Corporate Running/Race Programs
- Kid's Running Programs, including Kid's Boot Camp and Track Team
- Running events, race management and race timing services
- Road race course measurement and USATF certification
We do our best to ensure that runners enjoy a quality experience. This philosophy carries through all that we do - whether it is coaching a runner to achieve their goals, setting up a corporate 5K, helping kid's to experience participating on a track team, putting on a race you will want to come back to, or measuring a race course so the distance is accurate. We also believe running and racing should be fun. That is what keeps us running and we hope our services help keep your running fun too.

The Corporate Race in a Box Package is a great way to get your employees involved in a fun, healthy event. Running Ventures works with you to set up a 5K run/walk event. You determine when and where to hold the event. This can be during the workday, a weekday evening, or a weekend. Most corporate races are held on and around the company offices. You can also choose to hold the event at a local park or on a nearby trail. For one low fee of $175 you get everything you need to put on your company event.
