Ty Draney

Life can take us in many directions; it is important to make time for what sets your soul on fire

One of the most accomplished endurance coaches and ultra athletes in the American West, bringing a rare combination of elite competitive experience and exceptional mentorship to every athlete he works with.

With over 30 years of trail running experience as an athlete, coach, and race director, Ty has become a true legend in the sport — from the track to 200-milers.

On the competitive side, Ty was a collegiate runner who went on to place top 5 at some of the most prestigious 100-mile races in the country, including Hardrock, Wasatch, Bear, and Bighorn. He has won at least one race at every distance from 50K to 100 miles and completed the first-ever Bear 200.

As a coach, Ty spent years at Star Valley High School in Afton, Wyoming, where he coached 65 state champions and 87 all-state athletes, and led the boys cross country team to seven consecutive state titles. He has numerous athletes who have gone on to compete at World Championships and the top collegiate programs in the country. He has been named Wyoming Coach of the Year 13+ times and is a USATF Level 1 certified coach.

His coaching philosophy centers on individualized, race-specific training plans built around each athlete's unique life and goals. Clients consistently credit Ty with helping them reach new performance levels — whether transitioning from cycling to running, competing in high school track and cross country, or preparing for your first 100-miler and chasing a podium finish.
