Born and raised here in the Mile High City, Bahdon started running in high school as a way to stay in shape for basketball and has been running, racing, and coaching ever since. He helped lead the men’s cross-country team at Overland High School to its two highest finishes at state in school history and went on to compete in road racing while at the University of Denver. At DU, Bahdon co-founded the DU Running Club and started coaching with Great Strides Track Club and Northfield High School, where the program has become a Colorado powerhouse in Track & Field and Cross Country.  Bahdon has also coached a variety of youth sports, from basketball to flag football, and has helped friends and colleagues train for races ranging from 5ks to marathons. In 2026, he co-founded the Iron Fortress Run Club as a part of the newly opened Iron Fortress Gym, where he co-hosts weekly runs and calisthenics workouts free for the public. Bahdon is a big proponent of balanced training and leading a lifestyle conducive to lifelong healthy habits built from childhood onward, while always trying to inject some fun into training. He still competes in road racing, as well as competing in various other sports leagues and competitions. With the Coyotes, Bahdon’s mission is simple: make running a lifelong, fun hobby for everyone.
