MEET OUR Racing TEAM
Jared Burdick
Co-Owner, USATF Level 1 Coach
The single most driving factor behind my running is teamwork. I have been very fortunate in my whole career from high school, to college, and beyond to have a great teammates and coaches who have given me meaning and direction in my running. While having this support I have been able to grow into my own as a runner. I hope pass on what I have learned (and also learn new things on the way) in order to help others find their running passion.
Lauren Burdick
Co-Owner, Certified Running Coach and Sports Nutritionist
Lauren has been running for over 11 years and has accomplishments from the 10k distance through 50k distance. Lauren is co-owner of Miles & Macros, LLC .
I run to push myself beyond what I think my limits are. Running helps me feel connected to nature, myself, and an inspiring community. Running provides me self-esteem, mental health, and clarity.
Attilio Lospinoso
For me, running is more than a hobby. It is a defining personality trait. I love every aspect of it. It is challenging, it is a great healthy habit, and there is a great community that comes from it. It does not matter if it is on the road or trails, you can find me out there with a smile trying to spread some positivity! I look forward to many challenging trails in my future!
(Fyi, Attilio runs for Syracuse Track Club and Miles & Macros, which really shows his passion for being well-rounded in the sport)

Kaleigh runs to relax and find peace of mind. She loves being competitive and running with others and She enjoys being part of an amazing and supportive running community.
Kristina Turtura
Kristina runs because, why not? Kristina does it for her mental and physical health. Running allows Kristina to take the day's frustrations out on the pavement. Running has taught her that she is capable of so much more than she thought, even when it's hard. Kristina runs to inspire and motivate others to keep going and to not give up when the going gets tough. Quitting gets doesn't get you anywhere. While her running journey hasn't been easy, it's always been worth it and some day Kristina hopes to coach others who have struggled like herself.
Brianna Sprole
Running clears her head, centers and grounds her, sweetens her mood, empowers her, lets her work out problems, and connects her not just to the earth that she runs on, but also with the people around her. Brianna runs mostly solo, but when she runs with a team or at a race, she feels so supported and welcomed by an amazing running community. Running has given her a new life. A perspective she'd never expected to have, and it's made her who she is.

Any time our athletes go for a run and pick up trash along the way (an ample amount), we will alternate donations of $5 to The Ocean Clean Up and The Clean Air Task Force (or our athletes favorite environmentally friendly fund).
We want to demonstrate support for environmental protection and create awareness for others who are also out using our trails, canal ways, lakes, oceans, mountains, and roadways.
