He ran and ran and ran and he got really good at it!

He got so good he started training for a marathon and had an amazing debut at that distance. But there’s a lot more to this story than the development of just another fast guy.

Dan Simpson from Coquitlam decided to share his passion for running with all the folks from the Tri-Cities area, so he founded. Kamino Running.
As good of a runner as he is, he may be an even better organizer and motivator. Despite a few opening-day hiccups, his organized weekly runs were a remarkable success with dozens of happy athletes.
