Tanner Jaggers

Tanner is deeply passionate about empowering others to achieve their healthiest and happiest lifestyles through running and fitness. A graduate of the University of Mississippi, Tanner earned his degree in Exercise Science, equipping him with a strong foundation to guide individuals on their fitness journeys.

Tanner’s love for running began at a young age, inspired by his mom, who regularly participated in half marathons. Watching her dedication and the joy she found in the running community sparked his own interest in the sport, which has grown into a lifelong pursuit.  Over the years, Tanner has participated in numerous 5K races and reached a major milestone by completing the prestigious New York City Marathon. While he doesn’t currently have a race on his schedule, Tanner is eager to lace up his running shoes again and begin training for future events.
