Leadership:
Jakson Badenhoop,
lead director and founder of Performance
MultiSports, is a long distance runner, cyclist, triathlete, and
adventure racer. He has served as Chair of Men's Long Distance Running for USA Track &
Field-Florida, and has produced several Florida Championships for USATF. He is also a past
president of the Florida Regional Federation of USA Triathlon. Through the years, he has
been involved in creating sports festivals with a variety of sports, as well as sports
camps for kids. He has been race director for many races from small company-sponsored fun
runs to high school cross country meets and long distance competitions with over a
thousand participants.
Jakson held the 1996-97 USATF National Championship in his age group for
50 Kilometers (31 Miles) and more recently took Third Place in his age group in the
1997-98 USATF 50 Mile National Championship. Jakson has run numerous
Ultramarathons, marathons and many shorter races, in addition to being an
accomplished triathlete, adventure racer, and athletic trainer. The past years
have been especially successful
for his running, with personal bests in three marathons, improvement in two large 15K
races and in several ultramarathon distances. Add to this, his participation in the
relatively new sport of Adventure Racing, combining several athletic disciplines in one
event.
In 1999 and 2000, Jakson coached teams of runners and walkers for
the Arthritis Foundation's Joints in Motion Training Teams, preparing them for
participation in the Dublin (Ireland) Marathon in October 1999 and the Vancouver
International Marathon in May 2000. He is currently coaching for the
Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's TEAM IN TRAINING, for the YMCA of
Florida's First Coast, and for Charities
Challenge Training Teams -- you could be a part
of his charity/marathon Team. Interested? Contact Jakson.
As a father, Jakson fits his own training time around the life of his young daughter, who has always been his favorite training partner. For
other relaxation, he races sailboats offshore on the Atlantic Ocean and on Lake Superior,
something he has been doing for most of his life. Interested in going to some challenging
events? See his events schedules for 1999, 2000, 2001, and
2002. |
