Sarah Correa
Operations Manager
Although she ran occasionally in college, running didn’t become a passion for Sarah until moving to sunny California from the East coast in 2012. A lover of distance running, Sarah has completed several marathons and ultra-marathons, most recently the Canyons 100k and Boston Marathon. Like most ultra-runners, her dream is to one day toe the line at Western States! In her free time, Sarah loves to draw, spend time with her two dogs, and find great places to run (and eat!) in the area.
Dan Lopez
Rocklin Supervisor
Although always an active person, Dan acquired a passion for running later in life. When his son was diagnosed with Leukemia at five years old, Dan and his wife, Audrey, joined Team in Training, an organization dedicated to training first time marathoners who raise money for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. After completing the marathon, Dan was hooked! He stayed on with Team in Training for two more seasons serving as a mentor to new marathon trainees. He hasn’t stopped running since and his enthusiasm for helping new runners continues. Besides running, Dan likes to be outdoors hiking with his family and dogs.
