Leadership
Beast Coast Trail Running focuses on offering trail races and group runs that welcome and support every runner out on the trails. It was founded by Amy Rusiecki, who was quickly joined by Leah Jacobson-Hardy and Kristin Loiko. These three leaders are the foundation of Beast Coast Trail Running (but are grateful for the amazing support of other leaders in this community!).
Amy Rusiecki is an engineer by-day and the director of Beast Coast Trail Running by evening/weekend. Often acting as the race director for Beast Coast Races (as well as for the Vermont 100 Endurance Race), she combines her passion for welcoming everyone to the trails with her compulsion to organize things. When not running or working (or coaching, or race directing), she can be found cuddling with her kitty.
Leah Jacobson-Hardy is often the fun and flare behind the Beast Coast events, as well as the voice behind the social media channels. Add more stuff here…
Kristin Loiko professionally wrangles student by day, and volunteers at Beast Coast events by night and weekend. Her passion and enthusiasm are often reflected in the amazing volunteers that we see at Beast Coast races! Add more stuff here…
