Who We Are
Our Mission: Energizing communities for good.
We often get the question, "Why do you guys do this stuff?" The answer is fairly simple: We wholeheartedly believe in it.
The long story is that Alan and Kevin grew up eating lots of unhealthy food and not exercising enough. Getting active through events like the ones we now promote changed our lives for the better. We host events that feel good and are non-threatening for all levels of experience because that is what motivated us to value our health and wellness. The short story is that Kevin is the idea guy and Alan is the level headed one. We love our work and have a ton of fun doing it.
Our wives, Emma and Kristin, started out simply as supporters of our dream to build VA Momentum into a thriving movement. Now they're integral to its success. Kristin is the brains behind our graphic design work and Spark Her Stride. You can always find Emma smiling warmly as she high fives you at a race registration table and walks you through the process to ensure your experience is top notch. We all relentlessly look for ways to incorporate local charities and businesses in every aspect of our work.
In June 2017 we expanded our family with the addition of Moriah Klages. Moriah started participating in our events in 2016 (starting with Pound the Peak of all races!), then began volunteering for us which eventually landed her a role on our team. Similar to Kevin and Alan, she was an unhealthy eater growing up. Once she began running she fell in love with its benefits, and in turn her diet improved. She is a devoted dog mom and huge supporter of first time racers, and looks forward to bringing her passionate outlook and positive attitude to the team!
