Where The Climate Things Are
Aaron Long | Race Director at Daybreak Racing, Running Coach and Trail Runner
Aaron Long is a trail race director with Daybreak Racing, producing a dozen trail events a year across Oregon, Washington, and California. He grew up on the central Oregon coast, ran track and cross country, had a coaching career that took him to each corner of the country, and then moved home in 2022 to help build Daybreak alongside his brother, Jeremy. We talk about the coaching philosophy his college career taught him, what it's like to watch snowpack and fire season shift year after year from the front lines of race planning, and why he believes people are more likely to protect the wild places they've actually been.
