DAVID BITNER
UESCA Certified Ultramarathon Coach
My start in ultramarathons came when a friend of mine dared me to do the Moose Mountain Marathon, part of the Superior Trail Races in Northern Minnesota. At the time, this seemed like an entirely insurmountable challenge, but every time I felt ready to throw the towel during the race, I would see a runner in the 100 mile event who had started a full 24 hours before me.
Witnessing the community that surrounds an historic 100 miler like Superior--and how there are more people cheering for the last person to come in before the cutoff than for the first finisher--I was hooked. I have since completed over 20 ultramarathons, including the Superior 100 (on my third attempt!).
I started coaching trail running in 2009, and have come to find just as much inspiration and satisfaction in helping others achieve their goals as I do in finishing my own races. I look forward to working with you!
I am available for limited one-on-one coaching. Please reach out if you would like more information.
