MEET OUR Racing TEAM
Jared Burdick
Co-Owner, USATF Level 1 Coach
The single most driving factor behind my running is teamwork. I have been very fortunate in my whole career from high school, to college, and beyond to have a great teammates and coaches who have given me meaning and direction in my running. While having this support I have been able to grow into my own as a runner. I hope pass on what I have learned (and also learn new things on the way) in order to help others find their running passion.
