Simon Escorcia

Simon Escorcia’s journey began in the heartland, growing up in the Land of Lincoln before crossing the Mississippi to Burlington, Iowa, at the age of ten. A passionate athlete, he attended Notre Dame High School, playing basketball while also making tracks in cross country and track and field.

His path led him to Luther College in Decorah, Iowa, where Simon pursued his passion for business while running for the Norse cross-country and track teams. It was there that he met Kelly, his future wife and fellow Norse athlete.

Following his college years, Simon pursued higher education at St. Ambrose University in Davenport, Iowa, earning his MBA. His career took him into the corporate world as a benefits and compensation analyst before he followed his entrepreneurial spirit and founded Colorado Race Timing. Today, it stands as one of the premier timing companies in Colorado, handling over 100 races annually.

While building his business, Simon never lost his love for running. He’s conquered 15 marathons, boasting a personal best of 2:43:40 at the Indianapolis Monumental Marathon. His prowess extends to shorter distances as well, with impressive PRs including a 17:00 5K, 35:59 10K, and 1:18:50 half marathon. Though he no longer chases personal records, Simon maintains his fitness through a balance of running and functional weight training.
