Jon Elmore
Age: 45
Decatur, AL



Brief Biography
I ran cross country and track from Jr. High right on through College at the Univ. of Wisconsin @ Stevens Point (Div. 3) and enjoyed a lot of success. After college, career, family and other activities filled my time and I didn't take up running again until I was 38. Since then I have learned more about every aspect of the sport and I'm once again enjoying all that is has to offer. I have been married to Kelly (also a runner) for over 17 years and we have 3 beautiful daughters who tolerate and encourage Mom's and Dad's slight obsession to running. I look forward to running and volunteering/race directing at runs for the rest of my life.
