COACH PAIGE.

PAIGE Du BOIS | Coach & Race Director | Marquette, MI

Paige Du Bois' discovered her love for running in middle school where she competed in cross country and track & field in her hometown of Green Bay, Wisconsin. She took her passion and talent onto the next level and competed in NCAA Division II cross country and track & field. She split her collegiate career between the University of Minnesota-Duluth and Northern Michigan University. Paige carried multiple All-Conference, All-Region, and All-American honors during her time at both institutions, and currently still holds three school records.

After being a middle distance specialist in college, Paige dove deeper into the endurance world and quickly found enjoyment in road racing. She then found another passion, pacing. Paige started pacing marathons and half-marathons with OnPaceRace and has led her pace groups to their goal time at ten different events. Her passion for pacing lays in the opportunity to help others break mental barriers and push them towards their goals.

Paige is the GM at Queen City Running Company and the race director for the Marquette Trail 50 & co-race director for the Queen City Half Marathon. She is also the assistant coach for the Marquette High School cross country and track teams and the program director for a youth running camp in the Upper Penninsula. Paige has coached numerous athletes ranging from middle schoolers to marathoners.

As a coach, Paige loves helping others discover their passion for the sport by meeting them wherever they are in their running journey. Paige enjoys helping people push their limits and test themselves by helping them not only train their body but also their mind. She aims to help her athletes find a new strength and confidence within themselves while also balancing enjoying and understanding the process of training.
