Founded in 2001, ZAP Fitness was created as a way to give back to the sport of distance running. With the goal of developing World Class American distance runners by providing them with the support necessary to allow them to train like Olympians, their athletes have seen successes on every level and in every event from 1500m to the Marathon. Nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina, they established an elite training ground on 45+ acres just outside of Blowing Rock.
