I joined Run Club as a way to continue my training from high school in a more social environment, and immediately enjoyed the balance of competitiveness, sociableness, and flexibility Run Club at IU offered.

Hi! My name is Paul Cormany and I'm from Brownsburg, Indiana. I'm a sophomore this year and this is my first year as the men's distance coach for the IURC. I am a double major in Statistics and Spanish and I've been running for a decade now. As the distance coach, I coordinate the training including maintenance runs, workouts, and long runs including when and where they are and how long they will be. I live and breathe this sport and want nothing more than to extend my knowledge of running based training to anyone who involves themself with the club! Aside from running,  I played the violin throughout middle school and high school and love to read. I love the running community and can't wait to run with all of you in the near future at practice and at meets! If you have any questions at all, please contact me on any of my socials or through groupMe or email!

Hi, I’m Cameron Conforti, and I’m the sprints and field events coach for the Run Club. I’m currently a sophomore studying Finance and Business Analytics and am from the suburbs of Chicago. I began running sprints and doing the long jump in middle school, and continued doing so throughout all four years of high school. As part of Run Club, there will be an opportunity for you, no matter what event you do, to train hard and compete with others. The club also offers many social events off the track such as team dinners and parties, so you should definitely consider joining even if you are new to running all together.

Hi! My name is Hunter and I am the 2024 Men's Social Chair! I'm a Sophomore from Zionsville, Indiana studying Environmental Geoscience with a minor in Spanish. I played lacrosse growing up but found my love for running my senior year of high-school when I lost a bet and ended up running a marathon. This past cross country season was my first and I loved every bit of it! As a part of the social chair, I want to make sure everyone is involved regardless the event. Can't make every practice or competition? No problem! Although I'd encourage you to make as many practices and meets as possible, there's more ways than running to stay active in this club and meet tons of awesome people. I look forward to providing current and future members memories to last a lifetime as part of the Run Club.
