Maurine Dobson, Program Director
Pace Group Leader – Gathering Place & Midtown
Hello, I’m Maurine Dobson, and I’m thrilled to introduce myself as the founder of the Tulsa Galloway Training Program. As a three-time cancer survivor, my journey has been one of resilience, transformation, and inspiration. My life took a significant turn in 2012, two years after my first diagnosis when I discovered the empowering benefits of regular exercise. Since then, I’ve completed an astounding 103 races, including 13 marathons and 32 half marathons across 13 states.
In 2016, I stumbled upon the Jeff Galloway Run-Walk-Run method, a discovery that profoundly impacted my running experience and philosophy on training. This method not only enhanced my performance but also ignited a passion within me to help others discover their potential through running and walking. Motivated by my own journey and the powerful impact of this technique, I pursued certification as a Program Director.
For over a decade now, I’ve had the privilege of guiding runners and walkers towards achieving their personal goals, whether they’re beginners or seasoned athletes. The inspiration behind starting the Tulsa Galloway Training Program was to create a supportive community where individuals can safely explore their capabilities, celebrate their achievements, and transform their lives through the joy of movement. My mission is to share the knowledge and motivation that have been pivotal in my own journey, empowering others to overcome challenges and realize their dreams.

From offering guidance on perfecting form to instilling motivation, Dustie has become an essential mentor and resource for runners at every stage of their journey.

Becky Bennett
Pace Group Leader – South Tulsa
Becky Bennett loves to run – and it shows! She’s gone from death marching the last 5 miles of a half marathon to running full marathons with joy, all thanks to Jeff Galloway’s method. Jeff’s method has allowed her to run without pain and she has made some lifelong friends along the way. Becky keeps getting faster and faster, and going longer and longer. It looks like there’s no stopping her anytime soon!
