As an RRCA-certified coach, Ashley leads group training through the Baltimore-based crew, A Tribe Called Run, where she supports runners of all backgrounds and experience levels. She’s also an avid traveler and is currently planning her first international running retreat in Jamaica. Her ultimate goal is to create inclusive, empowering running experiences that connect you to your strength, your joy, and to others—one mile at a time.
Coach Sharon

She’s part of Game Changers 2024, a co-leader of Queer Run and Women in Ultrarunning, and a mentor for Team Philly Race Training. She loves fostering community and social change via movement.
