Run Club at Indiana University

Hello! My name is Luca and I am excited to be your President this year. I am a sophomore from Brookline, Massachusetts and running has been a part of my life since my freshman year of high school. Even before I decided on IU, I reached out to our club's leadership and after hearing about what the club had to offer, I decided on IU almost immediately. Like many others in our club community, athletics teams were a major part of my high school experience and I only wanted to expand on the passions I developed from them. Run Club has provided me with lifelong friends, a passionate training group and people who care about each other's success and growth. Whether you are brand new to running or ran before you walked, I promise that this is the place for you. Feel free to reach out to me at lkelleyn@iu.edu with any questions. I hope to see you soon!

Hello, my name is Woodrow and I am the Track Coordinator and Men's Distance Coach for the Run Club this year! I am a junior from Indianapolis, and I am studying Mathematics and Music Composition at IU. I first started running when I was in fourth grade, ran throughout middle school and high school, and I hope to continue running for as long as I can! As our track coordinator, my goal is to provide as many opportunities as possible for our club members, including distance runners, sprinters, jumpers, and throwers, to compete in track meets and build up a supportive team environment. In addition, as the distance coach I will work to provide training plans, workouts, and support to all of our distance runners. Feel free to reach out with any questions about the club or running in general!

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.

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.
