It is with sadness that I (@run_hard_4_life - Kent Hileman) am announcing that I must step down from the Executive Director roll due to time constraints and personal issues. But I will be staying on to help with the transition to a new Director. I will also continue to act as Athlete Coordinator, helping with recruitment and onboarding of new athletes.However, it is with great excitement that I announce our new Executive Director, CHRIS BROWN! Chris is a former D1 XC and Track Athlete, and you can see him around town winning races of all distances, and traveling Nationally to represent Smoke. Please join us in welcoming Chris to his new role! Fresh off his 4x800 Master’s 1st Place win this weekend.
