Sharing the passion for running, one stride at a time

A lifelong enthusiast of athletics, Simon Carrieres spent nearly a decade running at provincial, national, and international competitions. These experiences shaped his deep understanding of the sport and the commitment it demands.

After his athletic career, Simon transitioned into coaching to share his love for running with others. For several years now, he has been training young athletes aged 10 to 25, guiding them toward their goals while encouraging self-improvement and enjoyment in every workout. To him, training is more than performance—it’s about personal growth, perseverance, and passion.

Today, Simon stands on the other side of the track, working alongside the very coaches who once inspired him. Together, they strive to motivate the next generation of runners to believe in themselves and go the extra mile.
