Meet Dr. Cary Yurkiw, Marathon Enthusiast & Inspirational Running Coach
Twenty years ago, the spark of marathon running was ignited in me by my roommate Steve Batten, a high school track virtuoso. After crossing the finish line of my first marathon, I've been hooked. Running has since become a cornerstone of my life, not just for the unparalleled physical conditioning but for the zestful spirit of competition, the metaphor it represents for life's challenges, and the unforgettable rush of crossing the finish line to roaring applause and the coveted medal.
Marathons are more than races; they're destinations, each a chapter in my journey, inviting me to explore the world one stride at a time. With a health professional career spanning three decades, my coaching is grounded in a deep understanding of the body and a commitment to holistic wellness.
My philosophy is simple: Start where you are, sign up for the challenge, and embrace the exhilarating world of running. Whether you're taking your first running steps or aiming for a marathon, I am here to guide, inspire, and celebrate with you. Together, we'll turn your dreams into triumphs.
'Every run is a journey, and every runner has a story.' - Let's start writing yours.
