I didn’t start as a runner.
I downloaded a Couch to 5K app just to see if I could finish.
Crossing that first finish line changed everything.
What began as a personal challenge turned into a lifelong passion—one that took me from my first 5K to 10Ks, Half Marathons, ultramarathons, and 100-mile races. Along the way, running became more than miles and medals. It became community, healing, and purpose.
That journey led me to become an RRCA Certified Run Coach, serve seven years as President of A Running Experience Club, and spend nearly a decade producing running events across Southern California, including Long Beach, Santa Monica, and coastal communities.
But I noticed a gap in the running world.
Large races were becoming expensive and impersonal.
Smaller races were affordable—but often lacked energy, organization, and care.
I knew there had to be a better way.
CaliFlow Runs was created.
