As In the Running’s Co-Founder and CEO, Erin is responsible for directing In the Running’s day-to-day activities, advocating for the selected charitable organizations, and running/biking/surviving long distance athletic events! Erin grew up in Queensbury, New York, a small town in the Adirondack Mountains, where she first discovered her love of running and mountain-climbing. Erin graduated from Harvard College, where she encountered two passions she would eventually combine: running marathons and engaging in global philanthropy. Erin is currently training for the Wisconsin Ironman, a summer climb up the tallest mountain in Europe and the 2010 bike ride across Africa, while working full time in New York.
