Rebecca Darugar
Rebecca is an RRCA Level-1 certified run coach with experience coaching runners to meet their goals for a variety of distances. A serious non-athlete growing up, she recalls crawling to the one-mile finish line during the Presidential Physical Fitness Test in elementary school. As an adult, she found the life-changing joy of running — both solo and as part of a group. When not running, Rebecca works at an education nonprofit and chills with her cat. Rebecca serves on the Board of Directors for the Brooklyn Rogues.

Steve Landis
Running since 1988, Steve still remembers the fear and trepidation of trying to complete his first 2-mile race. Since then, he’s completed 10 NYC Marathons and countless other shorter distances, as well as a biathlon and a triathlon (the swim did not go well.) He started ultras with the Burning Man 50K and got hooked. He’s done 50Ks, 6-hour races, a 100K, and a 24-hour (101 miles). Steve is a USATF Level-1 and RRCA Level-1 certified run coach and will try to convince you that it’s easier to run an ultra than a marathon.
