Board of Directors
Tim Funk, President & Group Run Coordinator
Tim leads the Wednesday night trail runs, and coordinates Track Tuesday, the Thursday AM runs and the Saturday long runs. He is also the race director for the Vallecito Lake Heavy Half Marathon. He spends as much time as possible running the trails in and near Durango with the First Lady, his many friends in the Club, and occasionally his old mutt Luna (when she’s up for it). Tim works as a transportation planner and is passionate about improving and expanding active transportation options in Southwest Colorado. He is also the proud father of a college graduate from CU-Denver that now works in a genetics lab at the CU-Anschutz Medical Campus.
Matthew Krichman, VP & Race Coordinator
Race director for the Thirsty 13 Half Marathon, Turkey Trot, Mountain Marmot, and Uncle Clyde’s Run & Slide. Matthew is also involved in all of the the DRC races he does not direct and handles much of the behind-the-scenes operations of the Club. Quintessential back-of-the-pack runner and poster child for the phrase “Because they told me there’d be beer at the finish line.” Proud father and dog lover.
Bill Benac, Treasurer
Bill came to Durango in 2015, discovered the DRC, then couldn't help but switch his primary allegiance from biking to running. He wants to get to know you, preferably while moving at an easy pace on a high country trail. Bill has performed in the Metropolitan Opera, been woken up by armed soldiers or police in at least three countries, had the host of Jeopardy to his home for dinner, and run a hundred miles.
Liz Haubert, Communications Director
Liz stays on top of the weekly newsletter, website updates, and social media! A transplant from the Midwest, Liz moved to Durango in 2018 but didn’t discover her love for running until 2020 - and she is so grateful to be more involved in the community that has helped her grow her passion for ultra distances and helped her find so many strong friendships.
Stephanie Barnett, Events Coordinator
Stephanie has lived in CO since she was 5 years old, growing up in Evergreen, CO. She graduated from FLC in 2004 with a marketing degree, and returned to Durango in 2017 with her husband and kids. Trail running is her favorite, with Perins Peak and Gudy’s being her ultimate in-town trail destinations. She loves to make a spicy green chile, soak in the hot tub, and bring together friends and running whenever possible.
Matt Griffis, Pub Run Coordinator, Equipment Manager
Matt leads the Winter Pub Runs and manages the Club’s extensive race equipment storage locker. He runs to keep in shape so he can climb mountains and prefers running with others to running alone. Matt has lived in Durango for nearly a decade and works in land and wildlife conservation on 5 continents (but mostly from behind his computer).
Anya Kuznetsova, Community Partnerships Coordinator
