It was about five and a half years ago that Katie bought her first pair of "real" running shoes at Charm City Run. She had no idea it would lead her to the best job she has ever had. It has been four and a half years that Katie has been managing the Timonium store. She seriously might know every customer that comes in the door-- if not by name, than definitely by their shoe and shoe size. Among the daily responsibilities of operating the store, Katie also handles buying the apparel, coordinating marketing events and programs in and out of the store and coaches our spring and fall half marathon training programs. She loves to share her love for this sport with others. Her hard work never goes unnoticed.

Once a competitive swimmer at the collegiate level, this fish out of water took up running after graduating and hasn't stopped since. She has competed in 5Ks, 10-milers, half marathons and several major marathons including Boston, San Diego, Philadelphia, Baltimore, New York and next is Chicago this fall. She can often be found running around the harbor with John, her husband; Pacer, their dog; or friends.

Whether you are thinking about training for your first 5K, you're an advanced marathoner, or just out there for fun, stop by the Timonium store to see Katie or email her at katie@charmcityrun.com.
