More proof of the kids being alright(and very motivated)is this young man: Ben!
Ben has called Kimberley home for seven years now, and it’s hard to imagine a better place for someone who loves being outside.
When he’s not in high school or here at the store, you can find him running or biking our awesome trails, snowboarding, fly fishing, and (gasp)golfing…nobody’s perfect Ben, but you’re close 😉
Running has been a big part of his life for the past four years.
In his word “I enjoy the challenge of it — running long distances, exploring new trails, and seeing what I’m capable of. I am the youngest ever finisher of the Sinister Sports Black Spur Ultra. I did that for the first time when I was 13, and I do that every year. I’m also looking forward to the Stag Leap Running Co. Elk Valley Ultra this Summer as well. Kimberley has no shortage of great terrain to explore, and I’m still finding new favourite spots.”
Ben started working with us at the shoppe last November. From helping you find your next favourite trail shoes to helping take care of the recycling, he is a clutch team member here at Purcell 😊
