race director, certified fitness trainer,
certified specialist in performance nutrition and coach

My passion for trail running prompted me to start the Folsom Lake Trail Run Series so that others may enjoy trail running and racing on the beautiful trails in our area.  My mission is to expose more people to the trail running experience and to provide more trail running events in our area.  Trail running is challenging and will therefore make you a stronger runner.  Many runners are switching from road to trail running because running on trails is softer than running on the pavement and will prevent injuries so common in road running.  You'll also find that you use your core, upper body, hips, glutes and calves to propel yourself up the hills, down the hills and over uneven terrain, which ultimately equals better fitness!  Trail running is mentally stimulating, so you'll find the time goes by faster, you'll run farther and you'll have more fun and enjoy the beauty of running in nature.  Furthermore, trail running will improve balance, agility and mental focus.

If you are interested in meeting and training with other trail running enthusiasts, join the Folsom Trail Runners.  FTR is large group (more than 500 members) of diverse levels of runners.  www.meetup.com/FolsomTrailRunners
