Your Run Leaders & First Run Locations
Victoria: Charles Kuyper
A proud serving member of the RCN for 41yrs, and a devoted family man. My enjoyment for running started in 2014 at the age of 52. I started training myself for a 5k, which quickly became a 10k followed by running my first RVM HM in Victoria in 2015. From that point on its all been a blur. I started running and working at Slater Running Room 2016/17 while still working for the Navy, represented the CAF during nationals 5 consecutive years and became involved in the local running culture. When I returned to Victoria in 2017, my passion was to complete a marathon and assist other runners along the way. Since that time I have completed well over 100 live/virtual events, and assisting others in achieving their goals. I am a member of the CFB Esquimalt Navy Run and Navy Bike committees and over the past 2 yrs an Army Run Ambassador. Currently leading and organizing the Wednesday Run Club in the Victoria area. I can't wait to meet you and let me assist you along the way!

Vancouver: Tania Beaupit
I started my running interest when I joined the Running Room Half Marathon clinic in 2014. I met two wonderful Running Room coaches, Justin and Chris. From that point I fell in love with running. The community is so supportive and beautiful. I ran many half marathons and became interested in running full marathons. In 2018, I ran my first full marathon in Maui and ran a total of 9 marathons in 2018. I had new goals for 2019, to run a 50km and more. I have now completed multiple 60 km races and ran an 80 km virtually in 2021. I am happy to give back to the community and look forward to meeting new and current runners and sharing our experiences together.

I started running when I joined the Running Room Marathon clinic in 2016 in Calgary with Wendy Swarovski head coach at the Calgary Running Room. The community is friendly, supportive, cool and nice. I ran many half marathons and three full marathons (Calgary, Toronto and Edmonton). Running is an activity that helps me to keep myself healthy, reach new goals and make friends. I am happy to give back to the Edmonton running community and look forward to meeting new and current runners and sharing our experiences together.

This all began with walking into the Callingwood Running Room in 1996 to sign up for a Learn To Run Clinic. What I thought would just be 10 weeks of my life, never stopped. Now many marathons later- in Kelowna, Victoria, Vancouver, Edmonton and New York City - a ton of other distances, more than a few triathlons - including a couple shots at the Canadian Ironman Triathlon in Penticton – I'm still at it. 16 years ago I took on the task of instructing clinics. The biggest rush still, is seeing those that have taken clinics or just joined us for a run club run, continuing to run. This has become a huge part of my life, no matter how many times I've stumbled and have taken the odd break, like that first love, I've always returned.

Whitby: Lori Williams
I am an avid runner! I have been running for over 14 years, with experience in both road and trail running. I started running as a way to keep busy when I quit smoking and ended up with another habit - a running habit! I have done over 20 half marathons, over 5 full marathons, and 4 50K races. Yes! I am an ultra runner! I have been an instructor at the Whitby Running Room for many race clinics and was the instructor for the inaugural trail clinic. I enjoy meeting new people, making new friends, and experiencing the joy of running. When I'm not working or running, I love spending time with my family, my dogs, my friends, golfing, camping and enjoying the outdoors.

Moncton: Michaela Forgeron
Hi everyone! My name is Michaela Forgeron, and I'm super stoked to be the Run Club Leader for Moncton Running Room! I started running when I was 14 years old as part of my school's cross-country and track & field teams and continued non-competitively after high school to challenge myself with longer distances. I moved to Moncton in 2018 from Cape Breton, NS, and getting involved with Running Room helped me meet so many runners in the area and helped me achieve my running goals! I have run everything from 5km to the marathon, and I can't wait to run more miles with Run Club!
