Hi, my name is Charles. Feel free to scroll down to learn more about me. “I have passed on many things that I could easily regret, but I don’t regret any of them, because that also gives room for something else to come that I’m proud of” -Javier Bardem (actor).
Charles Trujillo has come a long way from being a pool rat, riding his Big Wheel, and outrunning the neighborhood bully! He began his running career by setting the 1984 Colorado State record at Northglenn High School in the two-mile event.
Following that early success, Trujillo was awarded a full running scholarship to the University of Colorado, Boulder in 1984. At CU, he won three Big Eight titles and ran his way onto the NCAA All American Track & Field team three times. After graduating from CU, Trujillo coached track and field at CU before racing semi-pro for six years on team Reebok.
During that time, he joined two US world teams, finishing 11th overall at the Junior World Cross Country Championships in Portugal and competed in the World Half Marathon Championships in Oslo, Sweden.
After three months of training in Mexico before the 1998 Boston Marathon, Trujillo retired from competitive running at the age of 33. His body was badly affected after years of competitive running, making it difficult for him to continue training for long distances.
He was burnt out and constantly finished off the podium. Trujillo decided to step away from the sport and from competing in general to recover. After 12 years, in 2010, Trujillo decided to jump back into racing.
It took him over two years to regain top racing form, but all his hard work paid off. Turning 45 in 2011, Trujillo decided to relaunch his athletic career, but this time as an elite amateur multisport athlete.
His ongoing goals are to continue learning as much as he can about training and to increase his speed in all three disciplines.
He works to help others improve their health, find their inner athlete, and promote multisport living. In the off-season, he trains to complete the sprint-distance discipline in under an hour, including running a 5k in under 18 minutes at the race’s conclusion.
With the confidence of a true athlete, he’s meticulously organizing his race schedule to dominate the top sprint duathlons in Colorado, as well as the highly anticipated national championship events.
Multisport racing is a thrilling challenge that encompasses mental and physical strength. As you get ready to embark on this exhilarating journey, let me assure you that you have what it takes to succeed. Don’t hesitate to seek advice and do your own research to bolster your confidence.
Joining a club can be the perfect way to push yourself further, make new friends, and accomplish your objectives. As a sponsor or athlete, I am always happy to help in any way that I can. Feel free to message me if you need guidance or someone to chat with. Let’s make this triathlon experience an enjoyable triumph.
