After completing 52 marathons in 52 weekends, Dane realized the importance of having access to local knowledge, safety, and motivation. He envisioned a platform where anyone, regardless of experience, could connect with a guide who understands their unique needs—whether it's finding the perfect running route in a new city or getting the push needed to start a new fitness routine.

Over a decade of real-world experience, combined with feedback from countless athletes and adventurers, led to the creation of Sherpa. Our app now brings together a community of coaches, trainers, and guides—whom we call Sherpas—with customers looking to achieve their fitness and lifestyle goals.
