Meet your 2026 Trail Running Coaches, Tom and Ali!
👟Tom Barnes
Originally from England, Tom moved to Canada in 2019 and quickly fell in love with trail running. When he’s not on the trails, you’ll find him camping, backpacking, skiing, hanging with his dog, or following basketball and soccer. Through his online coaching business Next Peak Coaching, Tom has supported runners locally and around the world — from first 5Ks to marathon PBs and even 100K ultras!
Tom will be leading the clinic, developed in partnership with our running-certified physiotherapists.
👟 Ali Magee
Ali found running as an adult and leaned into it after having a child, using it as her space to reset and recharge. Experiencing both the physical and mental benefits of running inspired her to become a UESCA-certified running coach so she could help others find that same clarity and confidence. After recently moving to the Okanagan, she discovered a passion for trail running and the challenge and variety it brings. Ali is also studying Health & Exercise Science at UBC Okanagan, continuing to build her knowledge of movement, performance, and overall health.
Ali will be joining the clinic as our assistant coach and is looking forward to supporting everyone throughout the program!
We can’t wait for you to learn from (and run with!) this awesome coaching duo this spring! 🙌
