About Patrick

Patrick Caron is a 22 year old Mountain Ultra Trail athlete, competing in international races and based out of New England on the east coast of the United States. For the majority of his life, running has been a major focus and passion, combined with his hope to use running as a way to connect with a broader community, and to promote wellness and environmental conservation through his endeavors. After being invited to the Salomon Running Academy in Innsbruck, Austria during the summer of 2017, Patrick joined Salomon's International Running Team, and has been working closely with the brand ever since.

In 2018, Patrick founded Move Free. What was once just an idea and goal to give back to the world in a more significant way, transformed into a company with products making their way all around the world, and a mission to celebrate nature and help protect and preserve the outdoor spaces we all love. A percentage of the proceeds from every purchase goes to a collection of organizations who share similar missions to Move Free.

Patrick is a founding member and current coach of the Boston Bulldogs Running Club, "A co-ed 501(c)3 non-profit running club established to provide an anonymous and safe community of support for all those adversely affected by addiction - those in recovery, their families and friends, the clinical community and the community at large." The club host group runs and workouts at several of our chapter locations throughout the Greater Boston community, as well as our recently launched Chicago chapter. Along with being a coach for the club, Patrick has been the Race Director of the club's annual Run for Recovery, a 5K race and remembrance held every May on the beautiful fields and trails of Franklin Park in Boston.

Patrick is also a member of the Janji Corps, a select group of ambitious and enthusiastic athletes who strive to "run for another." Janji, which means "promise" in Malay, is a running apparel brand based out of Boston, MA. Through each purchase of Janji's distinctive running apparel, a portion of proceeds funds organizations that are alleviating global crises related to water. Janji wants to create a nation of runners that run for another and help reduce the global water crisis. Consider checking out their website and their clothing if you want to become involved with a great cause!

Patrick is a member of numerous other running clubs and organizations, all of which you can find listed here.
