Created by Fleet Feet co-founders Elizabeth Jansen (left) and Sally Edwards (right), Fleet Feet Running Club defined a group of people associated together not by how fast or far they ran, but by the spirit and passion they displayed in doing so.

"Fleet are the feet, serene in the spirit of the runner." – Fleet Feet co-founder Sally Edwards

For us, running is sweaty, soothing, gritty, messy, healthy, uplifting, challenging, and rewarding (and that's just on one run). When done in the company of others? Running is hilarious, motivating, memorable, and just plain fun!

Each of Fleet Feet's training distances are led by experienced coaches. These individuals are there to help organize mentors, lead meetings, plan routes, answer questions, and to lead group runs. Coaches have lots of experience in our programs, they know local routes, and they have completed many races. They are encouraging, outgoing, and compassionate. Our coaches are great at making personal connections and fostering comaraderie within the group.

The Mentors

The main roles of a mentor is to promote the sport of running and walking in Louisville and to mentor training program participants. Mentors are high energy individuals who love the sport of running and want to share it with everyone they meet. Mentors come in all speeds from walking to running. The main role of a an mentor is to offer support and guidance for less experienced training program participants, to volunteer at local races and events, and to spread the news about events, promotions and races both in person and via social media. While this is a group of volunteers, there are many great perks to being a part of this awesome team.
