Coach Ben

Coach Ben brings a very special balance of care, enthusiasm, spark, and fun to the EDT Family.  He’s a local having graduated from Smoky Hill High School, Colorado State University and the University of Colorado.  He has been a runner for more than 3 decades and loves the freedom and clarity which comes after running.  In his time away from EDT, Coach Ben is a pediatric critical care nurse and a dad.  As a former Olympic Trials Qualifier and a TeamUSA athlete competing on the Long Course Triathlon World Championships team, Coach Ben brings a lot to the table about getting the best out of you, each day. 

“I fell into running when I started high school and once I found it, I never turned my back on it.  Running has brought so many wonderful people and experiences into my life.  I want to make this a positive experience for our young athletes as they learn what running can do for them. This is a sport you will only get out of it, exactly what you put into it.  Nothing makes me more excited about running than watching someone work hard for a goal and being a part of them accomplishing things they never thought possible.  Coaching is the best way for me to pass the passion and love for running and competing to another generation.

“Run today in a way which makes you proud tomorrow ”
