About W2W

The only thing 'Good' and 'Great' have in common is the G. There are a lot of little things that can make the difference in the two. We, at Wire2Wire Running, pride ourselves in taking care of the little things to produce one GREAT running event after another. We have a combined 56 years of experience in putting on races, in training others, and in competing ourselves. We like to win.

Matt Terry, a former D-1 track athlete at Florida State University, has a passion for Track & Field and adds a business acumen from a long track record of working for an international Fortune 15 company for over 25 years.
David Matherne, a four-time individual National Champion and 4:02 miler, has coached 15 different State Champions in his 30+ yr. career. In early 2022, he was ranked #1 in the world in the mile for men aged 55-59.

Together, we have formed a business that can take your race, or yourself, to a higher level of achievement, regardless of your current level of performance.

Co-Owners David Matherne (L) and Matt Terry (R) bring a ton of experience to the table...that, and usually some coffee! Wire2Wire Running is more than their business...it's their vision of All Things Running in Northwest Georgia. — Co-Owners David Matherne (L) and Matt Terry (R) bring a ton of experience to the table...that, and usually some coffee!

Check out the list of races below that W2W has officially timed!
But running a race should be more than just having 'a good time.'
We believe that every Kid that loves to run deserves a quality pair of running shoes. So...
After each race Wire2Wire times, we donate 5% of what we make to Shoes4Kids, a charity we founded in order to provide a quality pair of running shoes to elementary, middle, & high school student-athletes in North West GA. If you are a local elementary, middle, or high school Coach or Counselor in Bartow, Floyd, or Gordon Counties and have a need, please let us know!
We have also been blessed to be able to provide two financial scholarships to recent high-school graduates each of the past few years, that were both proven runners and more importantly proven student-athletes!
You run...they run. Cool?
Thank you for your generosity!
