Founder/Chief Sasquatch
‘Marathon’ Matt Forsman
A passionate runner for over 20 years, Matt escaped the confines of his cube in Corporate America in 2005 to launch ‘Marathon Matt’ (www.marathonmatt.com) with the intent of spreading his love for running with as many people as possible in the Bay Area via coaching individual clients and leading half marathon training programs.
For more than a decade, Matt and his Run Club have helped countless San Francisco/Bay Area runners complete half marathons, conquer marathons, post personal bests, and most importantly, discover a love of running.
Matt’s Club was named the best running club by 7X7 Magazine in San Francisco. He also managed to take 2nd place in 7X7’s Small Business Contest. Run Club also has received more five star Yelp reviews than any other SF/Bay Area based running club.
No longer content to spread his love of running simply via training programs and coaching individuals, Matt’s thrilled to be taking his love in a new direction with Sasquatch Racing.

The Legend….
Sasquatch
What can be said about Sasquatch that hasn’t already been said?
Sasquatch is the heart and soul of Sasquatch Racing. “Sassy” is always looking to have a good time and share it with others. This could be in the form of running. But, Sassy isn’t a one trick pony. He (honestly, we’re not sure if Sasquatch is a ‘he’) likes to eat, drink, and laugh as well.
Sasquatch always has something to say. Sometimes it’s goofy, sometimes it’s inspiring, and occasionally he may give away some prizes. Tune into Sassy’s Twitter and Facebook if you want to hear the latest….
