"Running has completely changed my life. I grew up watching my dad run, and by the time I started in 7th grade, it didnt take long for me to fall in love with the sport. I ran competitvely at Weber State and Utah Tech, where I not only developed as an athelete, but also found a strong sense of community. Now, as Retail experience manager at Fleet Feet, I am passionate about helping others experience the same positive impact that running has had on me. Whether its finding the right shoes or offering advice, Im here to support every runner in their journey to find confidence, motivation, and joy through the sport." -Kevin

Billie hatch
Hi, I’m Billie, a devoted marathon runner with a passion for competing and inspiring others to reach their full potential. I have been involved in the sport for over ten years, with personal bests of 2:35 in the marathon, 1:11 in the half marathon, and 32:36 in the 10k. I ran in college for six years from 2017-2023, three years at Utah Tech University and three years at Weber State University.
I’m excited to help coach others for the Ogden Marathon because I’m passionate about sharing my love for running. Helping runners achieve their goals and witness their progress is incredibly rewarding and I’m eager to bring my experience and enthusiasm to the group. Seeing others overcome challenges, reach their personal bests, and share in the excitement of race day is what fuels my passion for coaching.

Ryan Head
I have been running my whole life! From running my first 5K to my most recent marathon, I have always been pushing myself to the next level. In 2023, I ran my first 100-mile race, the Wasatch 100, and feel that this is my greatest accomplishment in my personal running. I plan to run the Wasatch 100 and Bear 100 in 2024. To me, running is more than just running or exercise, it is my passion. This is why I jumped into coaching. I love seeing athletes cross the finish line with a distance they never thought was possible. My mantra, & quote; Think different about running & quote; is my key to success. “So many people worry about running and have doubts even before stepping out their front door. If you change your mindset from “I can’t” to “I can”, the game changes.” I am a certified running coach through UESCA. If you have questions, I would love to answer them!

My first race was Ogden Half Marathon in 2007, and I’ve run it every year, but 1, since. I’ve run several half marathons, 2 full trails and 2 50k trail runs.
