About us
Hi, I’m Jessie Gruca
Based in the Northville, MI area, I have been training for running races from the 5k through the marathon since 2009. I have completed 27 marathons where 25 of those have been completed in different states. I have also been a pacer for marathon races as well.
My running partner is my dog, Rose. I am a mom of two young kids (boy and girl) and work full time as a transmission line engineer for a utility company. I am extremely passionate about being active, healthy and developing the proper techniques. I love the running journey and ready to help my clients improve and enjoy running.
