Meet the Coach:   RYAN VANDERLOOP

Multi Sport and Endurance Race Training
Days are too short for Ryan to fit in all his athletic passions and racing. With experience in racing Ironman triathlons, road races, cyclocross, mountain bike and running races he now has his sights set on the North Face Challenge. As an athlete and coach he is looking forward to guiding athletes to their goals.

Ryan has qualified and raced in the Boston Marathon and the Ironman 70.3 World Championships. He also anchored a team of four and won the Norba 24 hr National Championship in 2005 which inspired him to try it as a solo racer in 2006. Looking forward to the '09 North Face Challenge in Bellingham, he is eager to help Seattle area runners train, prepare and succeed in taking on the challenge.
