The mission of the camp is to provide runners with top quality coaches who teach on current training methods, motivate campers to reach their potential and develop their appreciation for the sport.
Coaches Steve and Lori
Taylor
Camp Directors
For the Taylors, running is a way of life. The camp directors have over 40 years of running experience and over 25 years of coaching experience between them. The last 9 years, they have lead the Virginia Tech Hokies to numerous top 20 National Rankings and Conference Championships as the head coaches. As Virginia Tech graduates, they both earned All-American honors in cross country and track.
Steve was a two-time Kinney (now Footlocker) National finalist. Placing 7th his Junior year and 3rd his Senior year. He won 11 WV state high school titles in cross country and outdoor track & field, as well as being named the West Virginia Track Athlete of the Year for three consecutive years. In college, he earned All-American honors in cross country and track in 1987 and went on to win the USATF 10K and RRCA National Titles in 1988. He represented the USA at the 1991 World Track & Field Championships, and the 1991 & 1995 World Cup. He qualified for the Olympic Trials in 1988, 1992, and 1996. In 1992, he finished 6th at the Trials, becoming an alternate for the USA Olympic Team.
After earning All-American honors in cross country and the 3000M in college, Lori continued her competitive running and became a coach at the high school level. She spent five years teaching and coaching in Virginia high schools from Chesapeake to Roanoke to Henry County.
Steve and Lori have taken their experience and made the transition to successful coaches. Both have earned “Coach of the Year” honors on numerous occasions. They believe in providing an opportunity for athletes of all backgrounds to achieve success. That sets the foundation for the New River Running Camp: Education, Experience, Challenge, Discovery, Self-Discipline, Motivation, and Ambition.
