We are a running group based in Gilbert, Arizona training and racing to meet our running goals. Derek and Allison Delancey were training for races but couldn’t go too far from home with young kids inside. They created a loop, invited friends, and a group was born. We welcome all runners of all abilities. Join us for hard work and fun!

"Derek takes time to know you as a person. I believe this allows him to offer feedback that really speaks to my personality. The quality of his communication really helps with the confidence needed to cross into the next level. "

"Two years ago when my husband, I, and three kiddos moved to Arizona, I was looking for a run coach to take my running to the next level. Through his excellent coaching and encouragement, I have been able to shave 9 minutes off my marathon and half marathon time. He has coached me to a sub-3 marathon! That was a dream that I never thought would be possible. Derek even ran my sub 3 marathon race with me. He found me the last 4 miles and coached me in. I couldn't have done it without him. Derek helps me look at races and goals realistically to really seek out my full potential. Through his example as a coach and runner, Derek has taught me to strive for excellence in my running. His workouts are hard and push me to become stronger and confident in my races. I would recommend Derek to anyone that wants to work hard and achieve their running dreams!"

"Derek has been coaching me for 6 years. I have learned so much from him- running technique, rest, recovery, injury prevention, race preparation,and more. Most importantly, he has believed in me and taught me to believe in myself and trust the training. Derek truly coaches by example. He has the unique gift of being able to challenge and push you to be your best, while still being patient and sensitive to who you are. I am the runner I am thanks to him!”
