Derek Kaufman is a trail runner and business owner who lives in the beautiful Vancouver Island running local of Comox, BC. He began running in 2017 with the goal of completing a ½ marathon goal and steadily progressed into long distance trail running. Although Derek has experienced races in Utah and Kelowna, he states he absolutely loves running on Vancouver Island where he has twice completed the Finlayson Double (50 miles on Sat followed by 28K on Sunday). Derek recently opened a new running store in the Comox Valley called Foveo Running, and is the Race Director of Perseverance Trail Run and Co-Director of Devil’s Ladder Ultra. As if that isn’t enough, he organizes Run to Beer Comox Valley, a casual, local run club that attracts 40-60 runners weekly.
