Darren, organizer of the Run to Montreal

Darren is the Owner/Head Coach of THE RUNWAY and in-store Coach/Consultant at Culture Athletics. As one of the city’s most tenured running coaches, Darren has been coaching all levels of competitive running for almost 20 years – from weekend warriors to college athletes, ultramarathoners and everything in between.

With a long background in track and power-lifting, Darren has been running competitively for 35 years. Finishing top 10 in most of the GTA’s top road races, as well as some trail races. Darren has since switched to the challenge of ultra relays, running The Speed Project twice — leading a 6 person team to a 4th place finish (TL;DR: it’s a 341 MILES relay across Death Valley from LA to Vegas). Darren has also started The Run to Montreal – an annual ultra relay running from Nathan Phillips Square, TO to the top of Mount Royal, MTL. Additional accomplishments include pacing for the Wild Bruce Chase team (100KM of pacing in 3 days) and leading teams in the Peak2Brew ultra relay (from White Face mountain, through the Adirondacks to Utica).

Darren founded the RUNWAY in 2005. Prior to this he co-owned another long time Toronto coaching company. He’s also one of the only running coaches in Toronto that has been a strength coach throughout the duration of his career.

Additionally, he is currently a rep for Orange Mud, The Trail Runners Store and the Head GTA Ambassador for Xact Nutrition. Working throughout the Running industry in Toronto, he’s been a sponsored athlete of Saucony, New Balance, Reebok and Puma (where he was also in charge of national athlete sponsorship).
