About Us

Tamalpais Run Coaching was started by two experienced elite runners who train together on the trails of Mount Tamalpais in Marin County, California. Mount Tamalpais is the home of America's oldest trail race, the Dipsea Race.

Chris Lundy and Clara Peterson are former top collegiate track and xc runners who have continued to compete as elite national class road and trail athletes while powering through busy professional and family lives. After decades of racing experience as well as learning from the best coaches in the country, we are ready to help you run your fastest! Whether it is your first time running a 5k, trying to qualify for the Boston Marathon, or getting ready for a technical trail race, we can get you there with private run coaching. Our goal is to make running fun, fit into your personal and professional  life, and most importantly get you running faster than you ever thought possible. We specialize in customized virtual /online run and wellness coaching programs designed to work for you anywhere in the world.

We believe runners should help protect our natural surroundings from climate change, starting with the forests we run through and the air we breathe. This prompted our decision to support the charitable foundation Plant for the Planet.
