Brittany Charboneau (@funnyrunner26.2) is a Denver native and a professional road and trail runner sponsored by The North Face. She is known as The Funny Runner thanks to her background in improv and sketch comedy. Most notably, Brittany placed 13th at the 2020 US Olympic Marathon Trials, has a first-place title at the 2020 Pikes Peak Marathon, and most recently became the first person (male or female) to sweep the 2022 Walt Disney World Dopey Challenge by winning all four races across four days in the 5k, 10k, half marathon and marathon distances…all while dressed in costume! Brittany prides herself in her creative approach to her running and on being “not just a runner.” When not training for her adventures, she is a running coach for Mercuria Running, is a digital collage artist, loves singing Disney and Broadway tunes!
