Our Staff
We have a few wonderful individuals that make what we do possible! Here is a bit about them...
Toledo Group Run Leader
Bonnie Baumann
Bonnie began running in 2015 for her physical health and had a personal goal to complete a Half Marathon. Fast forward more than 10 years, and she has run over 60 half marathons and 9 marathons, with the 2026 Chicago Marathon scheduled to be number 10.
Bonnie stays active in her local running community by participating, pacing, and volunteering at local races. She is a RRCA certified running coach and serves on the board of the Toledo Roadrunners Club as Secretary. Bonnie thinks the running community is simply the best, and believes that miles are miles and forward is pace. She enjoys connecting with others and encouraging them to be active. Over the years, she has learned some of your biggest supporters are people in the running community that you have never met.
​
When not running or cross training, Bonnie enjoys spending time with her family, traveling, attending sporting events, and hanging out with her cats.
Bonnie first trained with Gaynor Train in 2024 to get her marathon ready after an ACL tear where she was off for 6 months doing rehab and cross training. Within 16 weeks she completed the Honolulu Marathon.
