Coach Grace Kim

I’ve been passionate about running since 1998, starting with 5K races. Over the years, running has become a lifestyle for me. In 2000, I completed my first marathon, igniting my desire to help others achieve thir running goals.

I founded Easy Runners in 1999 and SoCal RUNNERS in 2020, both of which have consistently performed well, appearing on the leaderboard among clubs in Southern California. Many of my trainees have qualified for the Boston Marathon. Personally, I have completed 11 Boston Marathons and other World Major Marathons, underscoring my dedication to the sport.

I am passionate about fostering a vibrant Korean running community and particularly enjoy helping first-time marathoners complete their races and achieve personal goals. Witnessing others cross the finish line and celebrate their successes is incredibly rewarding for me. As a coach, I strive to lead with energy and motivation, ensuring that my runners enjoy every step of their running journey.
