Diane Cressey
certified trainer, coach, race promoter

My passion for trail running prompted me to start the Folsom Lake Trail Run Series.  After spending most of my training on dirt trails I found myself loving running much more than running on the road and paved trails.  My body felt better and I was having fun...I am now addicted to trail running!  Wanting to compete in trail races, I searched out local trail races (10K to 1/2 marathon distance), and found a few 6 and 10 milers that I did race in and had a blast.  Frustrated with finding so few local trail races (shorter than ultra distance), I searched for other events to race in and found myself traveling to the bay area.  I realized there was a need for more local trail races in our area.  After discussing my idea of putting on a weekly trail race series with Will Roxburgh of Fleet Feet Sports, he encouraged me to follow through and do it!  So...here we are!  I am very excited to provide a trail running event for our community and to share my passion of trail running...I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!
Why a Thursday Series?  The reason why I decided on a week day race series is because I have worked directly with Brian Joder of the Prairie City Race Series and have experienced first hand just how much fun everyone has racing mountain bikes...during the middle of the week!  Hey, why wait for the weekend?  I am bringing this experience to the Folsom Lake Trail Run Series to put on a fun mid-week event  for runners!!  This is the first of it's kind in our area!  I hope you come out and spend your Thursday evening with us!
