Discover Skyrunning

Reach the highest peaks and run the most beautiful rocky mountain ridges.
That is skyrunning!
I started the Skyrunning Academy in 2025, with the goal to get talented trailrunners excited for the thrill of running above the clouds! It is the most extreme, but also the most rewarding form of running. Before you dive into amazing mountain adventures, or compete in a skyrace or a vertical kilometer, you will need technical skills.
The Academy offers group training and coaching to support the individual goals of each runner. The most ambitious athletes have found each other in the Skyrunning Crew.
SKY is the limit!

Want to elevate your performance? With my highly individualised coaching programs, you will unlock your full trail & mountainrunning potential.

About Kevin Stroek

I am a 34-year old medical doctor with a passion for movement, an outdoor lifestyle and mountain sports. My mission is to get people motivated to choose a healthy lifestyle.
I am a running coach with certifications in mountain running biomechanics, performance coaching, physiology and rehabilitation and have experience with road, mountain and ultratrail-running.
I focus on teaching HOW to run before we start training and racing hard.
I am coaching an increasing amount of athletes. The best achievement so far is Dutch Skyrunning champion Rens Nijmans 6th position at the 2024 Skyrunning World Championships.
Although I find high performance coaching an amazing challenge, I love to share my passion with any runner and help them to reach their potential.
I am crazy about running myself too! I am proud of my second place at the 2024 Dutch Skyrunning Championships, followed by a 45th place during the World Championships Vertical Kilometer.
