Coach Michelle Martinez
Michelle has been a competitive runner for more than 40 years, starting with the Moorpark College cross country team at 18 and racing everything since — from the 5K up to the 100K. Her strongest performances have come on the roads.
She has coached youth, high school and adult runners in track, cross country and road racing for over 20 years, and is currently an assistant cross country coach at Ventura High School. She's happiest helping runners hit their own goals, whatever those happen to be.
