Meet Becca
Rebecca Ard (Coach Becca) is a running expert who finds complete joy in helping others run their best race at their own pace.
Rebecca has been an athlete most of her life. For over a decade, she was part of a competitive dance team, then as she became older, she found love for cheerleading and soccer. She continued her active lifestyle into adulthood where she began running for fun. That “fun” turned into 20 years of 5Ks, 10Ks and Half Marathons.
Her experience has taught her a lot about the physical and mental aspects of the sport, including what it takes to keep running, happily and most importantly, safely.
Born and raised in Charleston, SC, She enjoys being outdoors and spending time with her 2 kids. She loves coffee, working in her yard and going to the gym. She loves going to concerts and making memories with her twin sister too! (see below!)
