Owner and Head Coach

Meet Amy Magdalein, Owner and Head Coach
Coach Amy started Moms on the Run Jacksonville in September of 2017 with the goal of helping women to get moving and to feel good in their own skin again. Her love of running started after having her son in 2010 and struggling to get the baby weight off. Her mom was a long time marathoner but Amy thought running was stupid and boring...until she lost all the baby weight in 4 months and found that running was exhilarating! 10 years later, Amy has ran 16 marathons, 50+ half marathons  and numerous shorter distance races.

​Coach Amy will be the one who will call you when you don't show up,  encourage you to stay consistent and help you navigate any aches and pains along the way! She's known for being tough but also encouraging and motivating as she pushes you out of your comfort zone to help you reach your health and fitness goals! ​Amy's favorite quote: "Hard work is fun. There's something unsatisfying about things that come too easily."

Assistant Coach, Amiee Cords
Amiee began running in 2009 as a way to begin a more healthy lifestyle and soon learned how much she enjoyed the sport. She is an avid marathoner, with over 30 marathons under her feet and several Boston Qualifying races. She joined MOTR in 2017 because she knew getting stronger would help her reach her running goals, but had been struggling with consistency in her strength workouts. She found that MOTR offered the right mix of friendship, encouragement and accountability to help her make strength a part of her regular routine.
Amiee enjoys helping others unlock all the magic running has to offer and loves watching her MOTR friends find the same joy and confidence running has given her. Amiee's favorite quote is, "don't look back, you're not going that way" and she is excited to help you move forward in your health and fitness journey. 
Assistant Coach, ​Tiffany De Tardo
Tiffany has been with MOTR since the spring of 2018 and has improved leaps and bounds in her consistency and dedication to her health and fitness. She is the consummate support system for our women and is always smiling and taking fun selfies. Tiffany shared, "I am beyond grateful and blessed to be an assistant coach with Jacksonville Moms on the Run. These amazing women have inspired and motivated me to become a better version of myself and I am excited to continue to support, encourage and celebrate each of you as you reach and surpass your goals!" ​Tiffany's  favorite quote: "Life begins at the end of your comfort zone!" 

Meet Our Jax Northside TEAM!

Northside Head Coach, Ginger Brelsford
Ginger got back into running 10 years ago, after her youngest child was born and she was looking for a way to shed the baby weight. She loves the 10K distance but has run many half marathons and a few marathons too! Ginger previously owned a small gym on the Northside and said, "it was my favorite job ever!" She loves empowering women to accomplish their fitness goals, whether that's be to run their first 5k, lose weight, get stronger, or to improve their overall health. Ginger believes that strength and cardio are a great balance and will compliment any fitness program.
​
​Ginger loves obstacle course racing and road racing but most enjoys sharing what she has learned with others who can benefit from her experiences. Ginger is so excited to get you moving and can’t wait to meet you and other women of Jacksonville's Northside!
