Your Coaches
Coach Xavier
RN, BSN -- RRCA Certified Run Coach
Hi! I’m Xavier - Registered Nurse, Boston Qualified Runner, and Run Coach. I aim to build an incredible local running community and introduce the beautiful sport of running to as many as possible! Growing up, I solely focused on bodybuilding and powerlifting, but it was up until recently (2020) that I found my passion for running. When I first started, I didn’t know much about the sport, nor did I know anybody who was involved in it. This led me to learn a lot on my own! When I attempted my first marathon in Oct 2021, I experienced how amazing the running community is. This inspired me to create a similar community for us to enjoy in San Joaquin County. Fast forward 2 years and I am proud to say I have played an integral part in the impressive running community we now have!
