Text Box: Leonard “Snake” Ulrich - Race Director / Real Estate Investor

Current Residence:  Cape Coral, Florida

 

Biography:   I have been enjoying the sport of track since 1980 and running road runs since 1982.  Coached track for 8 years and cross country for 2 years.  I grew up in a running family where it was part of our interaction and vacations.  I was coached by both my father and my older brother at Taft then I later took over the program in 2001.  Taft High School (Lincoln City, OR) graduate 1995, Clark College AA 1997, Eastern Oregon University BS/Teaching Certification 2002, Wife Lindsey and Son Samuel(Hayward Field 2006), Self Employed (RU Ready Productions LLC).

 

Motivation for running/competing:  I compete post collegiate for the friendships, to keep up with my wife on her easy runs, and because I can't get running out of my blood even though I have been injured for 4 straight years .  I just keep running and can't see myself doing anything else.  It’s hard to stop running after it has been such a large part of my life for 27 years. What other reason is there to travel all the way back to the northwest than for the chance to run with my old training buddies?
