Our Company

We believe Running Changes Everything. If you believe that, too, we want to talk. With more than 280 stores and a robust e-commerce site, Fleet Feet is the largest running retailer in the country. Catering to more than runners, we pride ourselves on having an inclusive environment! We believe it’s a privilege to serve and to deliver unmatched service and support when outfitting every customer. We run together to solve problems, reach goals, encourage others and champion our brand.

Overview

Are you passionate about running and love helping others achieve their goals? As a Trail Program Head Coach at Fleet Feet, you’ll be the heartbeat of our community trail training programs providing encouragement, motivation, and on-site support for runners and walkers of all levels. Reporting to the Training Program Lead, you’ll guide participants through training sessions, promote safety, and help create a fun, inclusive atmosphere where everyone feels welcome.

This role is perfect for outgoing, fitness-minded individuals who want to give back to the running community and be part of something meaningful. No formal coaching certification required!

If you're ready to lace up your shoes and help others cross their finish lines, we’d love to have you on the team. Apply now and help us inspire the runner in everyone.

• No prior coaching experience necessary—just a love for movement and a desire to help others succeed.
