My Story
As a retired Marine who served 30 plus years, I understand what it takes to accomplish difficult things. I am UESCA certified as an ultra-distance running coach and have been involved in this sport for over 25 years. I have been fortunate enough to participate in 60 official and dozens of unofficial ultra distance events. I also love being a race director and seeing folks achieve amazing things. Personally, my goal has always been to seek out the most challenging events and to see amazing new places. For you, my goal is to have you enjoy this sport as much as I do and to achieve your toughest goals. As I have gotten older, I enjoy helping others more than anything else. This includes coaching, mentoring and race directing. I have no doubt I can help you do the hardest things.
Whatever your goals are I can help you achieve them. Whether you are a first-time endurance runner or an experienced one seeking ideas on how to improve your skills, I will work directly with you to build a plan of support. I offer a wide range of services and am flexible to your needs and can help, regardless of your experience level. The services provided on this page are a baseline, we can figure out what works best for you. Darrin
