Former soccer player.
Current distance runner.

Tom Van Schoor is a former collegiate soccer player turned distance runner based in Northern California.

After years of competing through soccer, running became a different kind of challenge: one measured in miles, climbs, race days, and the question of how far the next training block can go.

In 2026, Tom ran the OC Marathon in 3:28:48 and began shifting part of his focus from road racing toward trail running.

VAN SCHOOR / RUNNING documents that progression through training, racing, gear, travel, and everything learned along the way.
