We are delighted and honored to introduce the 2024 Season Team Captains. The following individuals share our passion for creating a welcoming and encouraging environment where each participant is known by name. Connecting at races, social events, workshops, and on social media are some of the ways Team Captains hope to meet new and returning athletes.
You don’t have to wait for a Team Captain to connect with you! We highly encourage team members to seek out a Team Captain or other team members to introduce themselves, ask questions, and get plugged in.
