About the coaches:
Sarah Lorge Butler
Sarah has been running and walking for more than 35 years. She’s the author of two books, Run Your Butt Off! and Walk Your Butt Off!, beginner programs for people looking to improve their fitness. She’s a big believer in the power of regular exercise and thinks that some movement, no matter the speed, is always better than doing nothing at all. She looks forward to working with the walkers and people who are trying to gradually incorporate a little bit of running into their routines.
Pamela Bilyeu
Pamela is a staunch believer in the transformative power running can have on one’s life. As a Eugene native, she grew up competing at local cross country events, high school track meets, often while playing year-round basketball. She spent several seasons as head coach for the 8th grade boys basketball team at Roosevelt Middle School. Pamela is enthusiastic about joining Sarah for the beginner 5k program and is excited to meet all the runners, hear their goals, and provide encouragement as they start their running journey!
