Step Leaders

Our Captains are alumni runners who volunteer to be an extra resource for you. They will lead fundraising challenges, share best practices, and provide extra encouragement.

Our Coaches are volunteers that provide professional guidance and assistance to our participants to improve their running techniques and performance. They develop the teams training programs, as well as provide guidance on injury prevention, nutrition, rest, recovery, and running gear.

Meet Your Leaders

I volunteer to coach for TOS because I want to bring my love of running to our team! I love helping new marathoners conquer new distances running and gain the confidence to run a marathon and encouraging experienced runners to achieve their goals. I also love helping team members achieve goals for a goal bigger than themselves – sending kids to Camp One Step!
I have been involved with Camp since 2009, and TOS since 2011. It is a great way for me to combine my love of running with my love for camp. It also reminds me that I get to run, and that when the run gets hard I can dig deep and think about all that our campers go through to give me inspiration to persevere.

Meet Your Leaders

Running for Team One Step allows me to be a part of something that’s bigger than myself. It’s about being able to contribute to the pure joy that kids experience at the numerous camps. I’ve met many great people on this team through the years, all of us coming from different backgrounds but coming together for one common goal. That goal drives us to push through every run because we know we’re all in this together, even if we are running alone most days. The marathon may be the finale, but the journey is more important than the destination. Throughout that journey you find out a lot about yourself, your teammates, and the kids and families you help along the way. Furthermore, every admin, coach, parent and camper has always shown the highest level of appreciation for each and every runner and supports us in any way possible. The sense of community is extraordinary.
