Kitty Farago has been cycling seriously for almost 30 years. She brings to her coaching the experience of racing in New England, the Southwest and Nationally as well as a background in medical care. Kitty works with all levels of athletes, specializing in those coming to cycling later in life and juggling work, family and other responsibilities around training and competing.

Although she did her first bicycle tour not long after high school graduation, Kitty became a serious recreational cyclist only in her late twenties and early thirties, riding many centuries with local New England cycling groups. She is an accomplished touring cyclist, having ridden from Los Angeles to Boston, San Francisco to Salt Lake City, and Boston to Quebec.  

Kitty discovered mountain bike racing in her early 40’s and then quickly expanded to road racing and Cyclocross. She raced the latter two disciplines throughout New England for eight years and then moved to Arizona where she has continued to race over the last six years. Career highlights include winning the 2000 Cross Nationals in the 45+ category and a second place in 2001, racing the New England Verge series, winning the Iron Horse Classic Masters Women Omnium in 2010, and participating in many national level stage races in New England and the West including Fitchburg, Vermont, Bisbee, and the Tucson Bicycle Classic. Prior to getting involved with cycling, she raced Olympic distance triathlons, cross country ski marathons, and 10K running races.

Kitty is intimately familiar with the challenges of balancing work and training, coming back after surgeries and injuries, as well as learning to race in the masters categories and competing with younger riders. She enjoys helping new riders reach their goals and is available for ongoing training programs and well as one-on-one appointments for skills and other training.

In addition to racing, Kitty has co-promoted several races and helped promote women’s cycling in the Northeast.  She graduated from the University of Rochester with a BS in Nursing and an MBA from Xavier University.  She has worked as a visiting nurse in home care for close to 20 years and also pursues her interests in natural health and nutrition.
