Coaches
Shore Runners relies on the volunteer service of our wonderful high school and collegiate runners who return every summer to work with Shore Runners participants. We are fortunate enough to now have some previous participants who have returned to coach. If you know some who is interested in coaching, please have them email jac@shorerunners.org.
Coleman Love
Role: Coach
Team: GHS XC/TF ('24)
Favorite Event: 1600m
Reason for Coaching: I was a former Shorerunners participant, having done the program throughout my middle school years. It gave me a great introduction to the sport of running and inspired me to do XC and track in high school. By coaching, I hope to share the joy of running with others and give participants a glimpse of the track and XC activities they may try in high school.
