OUR STORY
Kamino was founded in November 2023 by Daniel Simpson. The company was established to fill the gap for servicing runners in the local area.
Daniel noticed a lack of community running in Coquitlam, and he wanted to create that very community. Kamino’s name is based on the very street where Daniel grew up, El Camino Drive, which means "The Way" in Spanish. The street was where his passion for running began, and now Kamino has a community of runners united under a common goal.
Kamino’s very first event took place on April 03, 2024 in a local Coquitlam park, Lafarge Lake. Kamino hosted over 65+ runners for their first social run. This incredible turnout has led to our ongoing success.
Now Kamino Running Co. has created many different services to help create better runners and connect runners with coaches. Kamino will continue to create community, run wild, coach with purpose, and empower runners to be their best.

THE FOUNDER
My name is Daniel, I am the Founder/Run Leader of Kamino Running Co.
I have been running for about 10 Years. And I am not your typical running superstar.
Growing up on El Camino Drive in Coquitlam, BC is where my journey into the world of running began. Despite being athletically inclined, I grappled with weight issues throughout my youth. I was overweight weighing 230 lbs and was miserable. I needed a change. So I decided to run. I ran everyday for about 6 months, cut out all junk foods, always ate a big breakfast, ate clean, and didn’t eat past 7:00pm (warning this worked for me - may not for you). After the 6 months I had lost over 65+ lbs. And I looked good. Since that moment I fell in love with running. I joined my high school cross country team & track team and competed through my High School years.
Following a bit of a break from running, I ran a lot of 5KM & 10KM runs. And my auntie Liz, challenged me and said, why not try and do some longer runs and do a marathon? In haste, I knew there was no chance of that happening. But then the day came where I signed up for my first half marathon. Then I got the buzz. I signed up for my first full marathon. Then I was addicted. With the Vancouver Marathon being my first marathon and got a time of 3:29:03, I found my passion. Since then I have continued to run marathons and other races ever since. I am continuing my journey to make it to all the World Major Marathons slowly, but surely.
Join me on weekly runs and be apart of Kamino, where we inspire runners to run.
