You’ll enjoy their friendly and experienced coaches. Coach Ashton is excited to return to their Couch to 5K program. Ashton competed for UCI’s Cross Country and Track Team where he made the Big West All-Academic Team three consecutive years, so Spirit Run is thrilled to welcome Coach Thomas back. Thomas is a USA Olympic Trials Qualifier in the Half Marathon and the 2020 Surf City Marathon Champion. He ran for Princeton and Corona del Mar High School.
