Coach Laura Caldwell with one of her current athletes.

We are saddened to announce that on June 8th one of our Board members, Laura Caldwell, suffered a brain aneurysm at her home in Greenville, SC. Although she had surgery to repair the aneurysm, she has been unable to verbally communicate during her time in Neuro Intensive Care and is currently incapaciated. We and many of her friends, coaches and athletes in the running community have sent our prayers for her to recover from this life-changing event. 

Laura is an excellent example of a Master Coach and has coached at the high school, collegiate, post-collegiate and professional levels. Here is a link to our interview with her from March 2019 provided by Charlotte Lettis Richardson.

WRCC Mission Statement

The WRCC exists to amplify the power that women coaches bring to track, field and distance running. As a collective, we are leaders in a new model that understands women coaches are vital to navigate male and female athletes' differences and coach them accordingly. 
As the authority for athletes and coaches, the WRCC is changing this landscape. 
Welcome to the Women's Running Coaches Collective website. The WRCC was founded in 2018 by Charlotte Lettis Richardson, Melissa, Hill, Helene Hutchinson, and Nikki Rafie, a talented group of women coaches, who wanted to work together to help promote and support women in our track, field, and running coaching ranks, as well as support those already coaching. We have put content together here to help any woman interested in becoming a coach or who just wants to add to their knowledge of the sports of track and field, cross country, and road racing. Below is the video from our membership launch that explains more of what we are about. If you want to become a member of our group of amazing women coaches, you can click the "Membership Sign Up" below to be directed to our sign up page.
