Billie hatch

Hi, I’m Billie, a devoted marathon runner with a passion for competing and inspiring others to reach their full potential. I have been involved in the sport for over ten years, with personal bests of 2:35 in the marathon, 1:11 in the half marathon, and 32:36 in the 10k. I ran in college for six years from 2017-2023, three years at Utah Tech University and three years at Weber State University.

I’m excited to help coach others for the Ogden Marathon because I’m passionate about sharing my love for running. Helping runners achieve their goals and witness their progress is incredibly rewarding and I’m eager to bring my experience and enthusiasm to the group. Seeing others overcome challenges, reach their personal bests, and share in the excitement of race day is what fuels my passion for coaching.
