We don’t always have the ANSWERS, but we can LEARN and have a little BELIEF to create the unimaginable. The first ever video I created and the first handcrafted all wood belt buckle made in 2016 in a rented out co-working space. Thank you @rainshadowrunning for believing in me and giving me a chance! @poebuilt remember those shop days.

Just START! They said it couldn’t be done, they said NO, they said you’re crazy. Well here we are 10 years later feeling elevated. Another look back at the beginning of EC circa 2015…quitting my job, doing something no one had ever done, maxing out my credit card, renting my first 400 sq ft shop on the 5th story of an old moving company building, sleeping in my shop to make it all work, sacrificing relationships, and going all in. A lifetime of lessons earned with sacrifice, heart, and never ever giving up. 📸 @cody.kaemmerlen (1-3)

The FIRST STEP….. the original artwork that started it all. Simple and proud to display my @san_diego_100 belt buckle. Still on the wall reminding me of where we all start.

CHASING DREAMS creating a NAME. We take a look back at the origin and how EC all started. It all started with a piece of wood and a pen. Elevation Culture started in a small apartment in San Diego, CA in 2014 with the marrying of my two passions: running and art. Creating hand drawn elevation profiles of our accomplishments kicked off what would become the first of its kind. I never knew the heart and dedication to just doing what I loved would turn into this. So much more of EC journey to share….

Remember to DANCE! We love to boogie and get shakin it at our biddiest TRAIL PARTY of the year. The Lake Hodges Trail Festival is here on October 18th-19th 2025. Let’s GO! 🙌🏻🔥

Our FAMILY, your FAMILY, we are all FAMILY NOW. We continue our appreciation for our amazing team and volunteers that help make your day truly a day to remember. ❤️ We appreciate you! @ignite_fitness_performance

Still feeling ELEVATED! We thrive when we are together and doing what we love.

WE are all FAMILY! A huge thank you to our family Chad, Kelsey, and Brent @ignite_fitness_performance of Jefferson City, MO for your love and support of Bluffs Trail Runs. You saw them out there setting up the day, supporting you at the aid stations, guiding you on the trail, handing you your finisher medal, cooking up quesadillas, and so much more. We could not do it without you! Be sure to go check them out for all your strength and performance needs to get you to the next level. 💪🏻🙌🏻❤️
