Hi! I’m coach Caitlyn, 41-year-old mamma to 2 kiddos (Emjae 12/Teck10) and wife to my amazing husband (Aaron) for 16 years. I grew up in Utah and graduated from the University of Utah. We have moved 3 states (Utah, I.E. California, New Jersey, OC California) in the past 10 years for my husbands MD training and we are happy to have finally landed in OC for our final destination. 

My running journey started in my early 20’s by signing up for “fun runs” with friends and co-workers as personal challenges and a way to stay in shape. I quickly fell in love with running and ran 6 Utah half marathons, 2 “Wasatch Back” Ragnar relay races, countless 5ks, 10ks and mud runs. 

After having kids, my passion for racing stopped. I would run on the weekends with my family to exercise but hardly had the desire to run more than 3-5 miles.  It wasn’t until my daughter (Emjae) who was always begging us to take her on long runs on the weekends discovered WeRock at LFMS. She committed to marathon training and I decided to lace my kicks and run a 1/2 marathon last year after 13 years of taking a break. I am really looking forward to building my miles week by week and month by month to complete my first marathon with WeRock.

If I’m not out running, you’ll catch me at the beach surfing, snowboarding, shopping or at hot yoga. 

I’m beyond happy to be coaching at Las Flores 2023-24 school year. I’m passionate about coaching, athletics and being outside as much as possible.  Hope to see you on the trails and on race days. 

XO-Caitlyn Fowler
