About Us

Hello runner! My name is Maura, aka Coach Mo. 

I have been in a long distance relationship with running since I was a teenager (I'm 37 now). Initially, running was a requirement of high school sports but I struggled with self-confidence as I wasn't as talented as my peers. 

In college I completed my first 5k when a professor offered extra credit to participate. Something about that event got me hooked. One day sitting in another professors office, she casually mentioned that she maintains a fitness level that could easily allow her to run a half-marathon at a moment's notice... this was intriguing to me. 

I started to train for longer distances.

Shortly after that I was introduced to trail running in the mountains of western North Carolina and as they say, the rest is history.

My yearning for adventure took me to Missoula, Montana in 2013 which is where I trained for my first marathon. At the time I was quite inexperienced and trained strictly by quantity of mileage vs. quality of mileage.

Fast forward 12 more years, with 8 marathons, 1 ultramarathon and thousands of miles underfoot, I became a Certified Running Coach with United Endurance Sports Coaching Association in 2025. I also have a Bachelor's of Science in Health Promotion and an Associate's of Science in Nursing. I am a Certified Medical Surgical Registered Nurse, a boy mom, and a Certified Yoga Teacher.
