Next up in our pacer spotlight is Kaitlin! ✨
Five years ago Kaitlin made herself a plan: 5k by 31, half marathon by 32, full marathon by 33. She pulled it off, and now she’s heading into her 5th year pacing the Seaway Run. Originally from Pittsburgh, she moved to Michigan in 2021 with her family and has fully embraced lake life. Her first race was the Pittsburgh Half Marathon, and Berlin is coming up this fall with London after that. Kaitlin favors speed work, loves the half marathon distance, and runs best on cold mornings. She’s a Run Muskegon member and works at Catholic Charities in the Healthy Families program. On race day she runs to Pitbull or a 2000s club hit, finishes with a banana, and makes a Taco Bell stop on the way home. Her runner logic: questionable route planning has a way of turning easy runs into accidental long runs. On tough days she thinks about disappointing David Goggins.
