Craig Parris is a seasoned runner with more than 20 years of running and walking experience, bringing consistency, curiosity, and a love for the process to every start line. With the half marathon as his favorite distance, Craig thrives on the balance of endurance, pacing, and mental focus that comes with longer efforts.
What excites Craig most about the RUNColumbus Race Series is the season-long challenge—linking together races at different distances and seeing what’s possible when it all comes together over time. Looking ahead to 2026, Craig is setting an ambitious goal: completing his first ultra-distance race and continuing to push his personal boundaries one mile at a time.
