EXTREMELY OUTSIDE
A little more about us...
Shan Riggs
Shan is a 47-year-old ultramarathon runner and sponsorship marketing professional. He's completed more than 50 ultramarathon races - winning several - and has over 25 years of sponsorship consulting experience, working with major brands and a wide range of properties. In addition to running competitively, Shan has completed many multi-day running expeditions around the world to support charitable causes. His transcon, in 2020, was a 3,255-mile run from San Francisco to the Connecticut coast, raising $45,000 for Foodshare. Since then, he's run the Erie Canalway Trail, the East Coast Greenway, and the Pacific Coast Bicycle Route with bike support from his wife, Josh. His extraordinary journey on the East Coast brought significant media hype and awareness to the East Coast Greenway Alliance in 2022.
Joshuaine Grant
Josh is a mom, a cyclist, and a (sometimes) ultrarunner. She's also a scientist with a background in biophysics, biochemistry, and mathematical modeling. An adventure-seeker with grit, she’s run ultramarathons, biked through deserts and across states, and has hiked all 48 of the White Mountains' 4,000-footers. When she’s not chasing her own big goals, she plays a vital role in supporting Shan’s. She finds joy in the process: mapping routes, creating spreadsheets, writing blog posts. Josh is also the brains behind the concept of crewing from the saddle. She's ridden alongside Shan, transporting their gear by bicycle, while also managing the not-so-glamorous logistics of thousands of miles of shared adventures.
