SINCE 2004
Our Story
Two decades of training, racing, and building the running community in San Antonio.
FOUNDED IN 2004
By a Coach, For Runners
WeRunSA was started by local runner and coach Edgardo Gonzalez. It began as a training program helping runners of all levels prepare for 5Ks, 10Ks, half marathons, and full marathons nationwide.
KEY MILESTONES
Building Something Bigger
Official Rock 'n' Roll Pace Team
Became the official pace team for the San Antonio Rock 'n' Roll Marathon.
First Friday Pub Run
Launched the First Friday Pub Run in Downtown San Antonio — it grew into the largest pub run of its kind in the world and still runs today.
Retail Stores Open
Opened the first We Run San Antonio retail store in Leon Springs, followed by two additional locations.
Texas Tough Series
Created the Texas Tough Series: Duathlon, 10K, 10 Mile, and the Turkey Chase.
TRANSITION & REVIVAL
Passing the Torch
2016 — Scaled back operations by closing retail stores and training programs, and selling the Pub Run brand.
Until 2020 — Continued running the Texas Tough Series until Covid.
Post-Covid — E-Dragon Productions took over the race events and still operates them successfully.
TODAY
We're Back.
After a period of dormancy, WeRunSA has re-emerged with the same core mission: making running accessible to everyone. We serve as a resource for runners, coaches, run groups, race directors, and the broader running community. We're grateful for what this sport has given us, and we're here to give back.
"Stay to the left, and hurry back!"
