Adam Goucher

Adam has a long list of accomplishments both as a student and as an athlete. In 1994, during his senior year of high school, he not only was the student body president but also managed to run away with the Foot Locker national cross-country championship.

Adam signed with the University of Colorado as the nation’s number one recruit and quickly made a name for himself by placing second at the NCAA cross-country championships in Arkansas and leading his team to a second- place finish. During his collegiate career, he was an eleven-time All American and captured four individual NCAA titles.

Before Adam graduated with a bachelor’s degree in communications in 1998, he had already developed a passion for personal growth and began speaking with several local high schools about the value of running and setting goals.

After completing his collegiate career, Adam signed a contract with a shoe company to run professionally. He also continued to work with the CU men’s and women’s team as a volunteer assistant coach under Mark Wetmore.

In his career, Adam has won eight individual U.S. championships and qualified for the finals in the world championships in track and cross country seven times. In 2000, Adam represented the United States in the Sydney Olympic Games.

Adam continues to run and battle through injury, but also has an eye toward giving back to a sport that has given him so much. He wishes to share his passion with other runners and use what he has learned from running to be not only the best athlete possible, but also the best husband, father, brother, son, and friend.
