🏁 McRUN Executive Team 🏁
President
Jia Du
"I started running in elementary school with the annual Terry Fox runs and then started doing more serious cross country races as I got older. I discovered that I enjoyed long distances more than short sprints (and was quite good at it too!) What motivates me to run? I know that I will always feel amazing after a run!!!"
VP Mental Health Initiatives
Darcy Tyler
"I love that running allows me to develop my physical endurance while getting me in a good emotional and mental headspace. I love to run different routes and explore Montreal through running, and am currently training to run my first Half Marathon this May"
VP Operations
Benjamin Sime Goldfrad
"I was interested in the sport from a very young age, but only decided to actively pursue running when I was 15. I started out running the 100m and 200m sprints at my local track club, and soon transitioned to longer distance running. In 2019, I completed my first 10k, half marathon, and full marathon, and I hope to run many more races in the future"

VP Social Media & Communications
Cat Alway
"I started running in high school because a lot of my friends ran cross country or track. I’ve never been the fastest runner, but I love it because of all the wonderful people I’ve met and friendships I’ve made through running. But even when I run on my own, I love the chance to clear my head and not think about anything for a while"
VP Marketing & Web Design
