MEET YOUR IGNITE! COACH:

Coach Kurt

My connection with Fleet Feet began about 15 years ago when I joined a Half-Marathon training program, followed by the Winter Warrior group. Now, I’m excited to be part of the Ignite 5K training group.

I’ve been a student of running for 50 years. One of my most memorable experiences was attending a running camp led by the legendary Jim Ryun, who inspired us to believe in ourselves and dream big. Over the years, I’ve coached high school cross-country for two seasons, completed six marathons (including Boston) and one 50K race.

Beyond my personal running journey, I’ve immersed myself in the sport through countless books, articles, and, most recently, a coaching certification program through McMillan Running.

People run for many different reasons, and I’d love to hear what motivates you. My goal is to run for the rest of my life, and while running well takes time and dedication, it can also be a truly joyful experience.
