Our Coaches
Train with the Best Running Club
Melissa Craig
Assistant Coach
Melissa became a WCRR member in 2019 while training for Carlsbad Marathon. The experience of training with such an energetic, welcoming, and knowledgeable group of runners was transformational in her growth and passion for running. Melissa loves the lifelong friendships WCRRs has provided and she can't wait to help others to achieve their goals. When Melissa's not running, she's usually cuddling her fur baby, Charlie, traveling with her husband Kyle, or pursuing her voiceover passion.
Denise Mikkonen
RB Head Coach
Because the WCRR Team encouraged, nudged and supported her to reach her goals, Denise Mikkonen was inspired to coach. As Head Coach for the RB location, Coach Denise loves running side by side with team members while sharing hopes and dreams, and listening and laughing together on morning runs.
Amy Mittelstadt
Assistant Coach
Coach Amy enjoys the camaraderie that running with a group offers. She cherishes coastal runs, while listening to others share their stories about running and life. WCRR offers an encouraging and supportive atmosphere where runners can explore their potential and pursue the possibilities
