Who We Are
Our Mission: Energizing communities for good.
We (Kevin and Alan) created the Growler Team Relay because there's nothing better than social exercise followed by craft beer(s). We believe in pound-for-pound good times, so we launched an event that we'd want to participate in ourselves. Kevin is the idea guy and Alan keeps us level headed. We love our work and have a ton of fun doing it.
But why? We both grew up eating lots of unhealthy food and avoiding exercise. We met while working at James Madison University in Virginia and became workout and craft beer drinking buddies. We decided to create some community focused, charity run/walk events for people of all skill levels and backgrounds in our town. The event planning hobby spiraled out of control in a really cool way and we started a social enterprise called VA Momentum in 2013.
We dreamed up the Growler Team Relay concept in 2015 and hosted four throughout Virginia in 2016. The response and feedback were super positive, so we hosted eight in 2017, including the first outside Virginia in Durham, NC.
We are psyched to hit the road in 2018 for Growler Relays up and down the east coast. Our wives, Emma and Kristin, deserve a ton of credit for supporting the pursuit of our dream. Thanks ladies!
Meeting new people along this journey is one of our favorite parts about it. We look forward to high-fiving you while you run and raising a glass to your team at the finish line!
