Running career

Early life

Hartmann grew up in

Pac-10 championships.[4]

First road races

After college, he began to take part in

5000 meters best of 13:36.33 minutes shortly afterwards,[2] and placed seventh in the 10,000 m at the USA Outdoor Track and Field Championships. His marathon debut came at the 2006 Chicago Marathon and he finished the event in a time of 2:15:50 hours for twentieth place.[3]

In 2007 he was 15th at the National Cross Country Championships, but was third at the 15 Championships behind

Cherry Blossom 10-miler, Steamboat Classic and Bolder Boulder.[11] He also ran in four national road championship races, with his best finish being a fourth place at the 25K race.[9] Hartmann had his first major win at the Twin Cities Marathon, where he defeated the favored Kenyan runners in the final stages to lift the title in a time of 2:12:09.[11]

Major marathons

He came fourth at the

Fifth Third River Bank Run in 2010, but preparations for the 2010 Chicago Marathon were interrupted by a break with his coach, Steve Jones. Hartmann instead began training with Lee Troop, who was setting up a small elite group known as the Boulder Track Club in Boulder, Colorado. The coach change led to his best marathon finish of 2:11:06 hours for eighth place and he was the first American to cross the line. In May 2011 he beat Keflezighi to the top U.S. finish at the 100th Bay to Breakers.[11] He was runner-up in the Las Vegas Half Marathon with a time of 1:03:34. Hartmann had geared his preparations towards he 2012 U.S. Olympic Marathon Trials, chase pack leader at halfway point, but finished far off his target of the top three as he ended the race in 32nd place.[3] Keen to make up for this disappointing performance, Hartmann set his eyes on the 2012 Boston Marathon . He decided to run tactically and stayed away from the leading pack. The leaders dramatically slowed in the heat while Hartmann worked his way up to field to eventually finish in fourth place (the only non-Kenyan to make the top six).[12][13]

Twin Cities Marathon (2009)
Twin Cities victory in 2009 was a career changer elevating him to one of the five best marathoners in the United States.
Chicago Marathon (2010)
Hartmann charged home to a personal best of 2:11:06 and an eighth place showing (top American), accomplishing both his goals
Boston Marathon (2012)
A fourth at the Boston Marathon on the day was the incredible heat that stifled the world's best, resulting in slow times, but Hartmann didn't let that affect him
Boston Marathon (2013)
A near perfect race, again finishing fourth in 2:12:12, and as top American in the most celebrated of American races.

Coaching career

Elise Cranny was under Coach Hartmann's guidance 2008 - 2014.[15] Elise is now a Pac-12 student-athlete at Stanford University.[16][17] Elise Cranny is #3 on all-time scholastic 1500-meter list.[18]

Saginaw Valley State University Head Coach Rod Cowan has announced the addition of Jason Hartmann to the Cardinal coaching staff for the cross country and track & field programs. He will work mainly with the distance runners during the indoor and outdoor track & field seasons. In August 2018, Hartmann recognized the skill and ability of SVSU's throws coach Nick Halabicky adding he viewed him as a mentor.

Hartmann was added to the staff at Central Michigan University for the 2019-2020 campaign. He was mainly the men’s distance coach. Unfortunately, the COVID-19 pandemic forced the athletics shutdown in March 2020, cutting all collegiate NCAA seasons short. Then weeks later, Central Michigan became the first Division 1 University to cut men’s track and field due to the pandemic. This ended Jason’s short lived coaching stint at CMU. It is well believed that the hiring of Jason Hartmann played some factor, as well as the pandemic, into Central Michigan’s decision to cut men’s track and field.
