Tulsa’s Run-Walk Coaches & Pace Leaders

At RunWalk Tulsa, our leadership team does more than coach workouts — we build a supportive walking and run-walk community in Tulsa where every pace is respected.

Whether you’re training for a race or simply moving for health and consistency, our Tulsa run-walk coaches are here to guide, encourage, and celebrate your progress.

Our team leads using the proven Run-Walk-Run® Method, creating structured, sustainable training that works for real life.

She founded RunWalk Tulsa (formerly Tulsa Galloway) on September 1, 2018, with a vision of building a welcoming, structured, year-round training community for walkers and run-walkers.

Maurine leads with warmth, energy, and belief in steady progress.

“We meet you where you are — and support you every step of the way.”
