All Runners Count — from the front of the pack to the back of the pack. 💖

As a marathon pacer and coach, there’s nothing I love more than helping runners cross the finish line strong, smiling, and proud. Below you’ll find my upcoming pacing schedule — including marathons, half marathons, and special events where I’ll be cheering you on and leading the way using my signature run-walk pacing method.

Those marked with a ⭐️ are confirmed pacing assignments.

Races with a “?” are tentative and currently being finalized.

Please note that my schedule is subject to change — more races may be added! 😄
