Jackson Allen

I am in my third year working here at MRC, and love being able to work in an environment that's so centered around one of my passions! I fell in love with running through high school cross country. I wasn't very good at it to start out with but loved the community I was surrounded by and how it was completely in my control to train harder and get better. Since coming to college, I've been training for marathons and ran 2:54 in the summer of 2019. Between COVID and hip surgery, the past few years have been a bit rocky, but I've enjoyed being back to running and am looking forward to racing Chicago next fall and am planning on Boston the following Spring! I will also be graduating this Spring with a degree in Secondary Education, so I am looking forward to my career as a teacher and being able to coach Cross Country and Track to give back to young runners who were in the same shoes as I was.
