RUN FAR COACHES

Haley Heartley
9:00 – 9:59

Haley started running in 2015 while in graduate school as a way to remain active.  She joined Run Far in 2018 and really enjoyed the experience and found it was really awesome to train with a dedicated group.   While running with the group, Haley realized that she loved her sharing her knowledge and helping others accomplish goals they once thought were out of reach. Seeing athletes grow in confidence and celebrate their achievements is what inspired her to become a coach and pace multiple races around Charlotte

Favorite distance: Half Marathon

Favorite race: Marine Corps marathon. Kind of counterintuitive that her favorite distance is half, but favorite race is a full but she loves the energy and has run it three times now.

Patrick Diantete

Patrick started running in 2022 and joined Run Far for the Summer/Fall 2023 season. After discovering a passion for running and the community, he became a coach for the Winter/Spring 2024 season. As someone who used to hate running, Patrick never imagined he would complete three half marathons and a full marathon. What he enjoys most about Run Far is the camaraderie and seeing the familiar faces that have been part of the community for years. It is a welcoming environment that has challenged and encouraged him, making running something he genuinely looks forward to.

Brooke Adom
10:00 – 10:59

Brooke started running in 2016 after walking her first 5K in Cincinnati. She had so much fun on race day that she knew she wanted to keep going. From there, Brooke began training for more races, progressing to half marathons in 2018 and full marathons in 2019. What she love most about running is the community it creates. Since moving here, she has met so many wonderful people through the local running community, and those connections have made the experience even more meaningful.

The half marathon has become her favorite distance, and this year she’s excited to complete her 20th half marathon—a milestone she’s incredibly proud of.

 

Lauren Wooten
11:00 – 11:59

Lauren started running in 2014 as a New Year’s resolution with her cousin, with the goal of completing the inaugural Rock ‘n’ Roll Raleigh Half Marathon. What began as a one-time challenge quickly became a passion, leading her to complete 14 half marathons, 2 full marathons, and countless training miles along the way. None of which would have been possible without the support, encouragement, and community Lauren found through the Run Far program. She is currently training for the 2026 Chicago Marathon and excited to see where the next miles take her!

Sandra Estevane
10:00 – 10:59 

Sandra started when she lived in Chicago and has been running on and off since 2010. Running has always helped her better deal with everyday stress. Then in 2019 while living in Greenville, SC a friend convinced her to sign up for a marathon. Sandra didn’t have the right training or support and completing the marathon was incredibly difficult. She felt terrible after it and ended up taking 2 yrs off from running, because she felt running wasn’t for her.  Sandra joined RFY in 2023 because she got in the lottery for the Chicago marathon. The RFY group and coaching made such a difference with her second marathon and she loved the group ever since. Sandra is so happy to be coaching so that she can help others have the support and guidance they need to reach their goals. This year the group is helping her train for NYC marathon.
Favorite distance: Half Marathon. Shorter training time, faster recovery, and there are a lot of fun half marathons options.

Jenny Chompholphakdy
11:00 – 11:59

Jenny started running in 2019 after graduating from UNC-Charlotte and has been hooked ever since. Through running, she found a supportive community and quickly found a new passion for running and movement. She enjoys challenging herself and helping others discover the amazing connections and confidence you gain along the way.
The 10K is her favorite distance because it’s short enough but the perfect for a hard effort.
