Colin Jones
My name is Colin. I grew up in Scarborough, Maine where I developed a passion for middle distance running. After high school I attended the University of Southern Maine where I ran cross country, indoor track, and outdoor track and earned the William B Wise Scholar Athlete award for all four years . Since graduating college in 2019 I have served as the distance running coach at Scarborough High School during the indoor and outdoor track seasons. During the fall 2021 season I also served as the assistant coach for the high school's cross country team.
When I am not running on the roads I am busy running my own business. I enjoy traveling, partaking in southern Maine’s incredible food scene, and spending time in Bridgton, Maine on the lake!
