About Stacy

I grew up in the Northwest and tried every sport possible. I ended up playing volleyball in high school and college, because the idea of running 3 miles on trails for cross country scared me! In the last years of college, I took up distance running. I discovered the trails when I moved to Eugene and never looked back. I did my first 50k in 2009 and came to love the distance - the quiet training runs with my dog, the friendships made on the trail, and the relaxed and festive atmosphere of race events. 50ks continue to be my favorite distance, but I occasionally take on a 50M for the scenery!

Coaching Philosophy

Life is busy with work, family, activities, and trying to fit in miles. I work with you to identify goals, set bold but achievable targets, and find the time to fit in workouts that put you on the path to success. Whether you are new to trail running or a seasoned runner that wants to tackle new distances, terrain, or speed, we will work together to develop a training plan that works with your schedule.
