Coach: Sandy Lamparello
Sandy did not grow up running, at least not any longer than required to run the bases while playing softball. She started running in her mid-30s with a coworker to give them a break from the office during lunch breaks. About a year after starting to run, Sandy ran her first half marathon and quickly signed up for her first marathon. The coaches and pacers who got her through that race 14 years ago inspired her to help new runners, and she became a pacer and eventually earned her RRCA coaching certification.
Sandy has completed races from 1 mile up to 26.2 miles and has also completed several multi-day ultra challenges. She loves road running but is also an avid trail runner. RAGNAR events are one of her favorite ways to spend a weekend.
If you are ready to run your first 5K or return to running after a break, Sandy is here to help you accomplish your goal. She cherishes every one of her race finishes, but finds even more joy from watching others reach their finish line.
