Jennifer Lare – HKRS Concord Township, PA
How many seasons have you been a Community Coordinator?
I’ve been the CC for Concord Twp. since Fall 2023
Tell us about yourself! What inspired you to join HKRS?
My husband and I live in Garnet Valley with our 3 kids ages 8, 4 and 1 who enjoy being active and outdoors. Our free time is spent playing and watching all sports, especially the Eagles & the Phillies! I was excited by the idea of a low commitment activity to get the kids out and moving so my oldest son started at age 3, and when I realized Concord Twp. was looking for a CC, I decided to give it a try.
What is the biggest success as a Coordinator (or favorite race day moment)?
Watching the younger runner’s (including my 4yo) confidence grow from being unsure about participating to being excited to compete and cross the finish line!
What makes your community special?
There is an active community engagement in our area, from the schools, libraries, sports and youth programs there is so much to get involved in!
What’s some advice you would like to share with fellow Community Coordinators?
Reach out to your local high school and see if they have a Volunteer Club- Interact at GVHS has been wonderful with providing amazing volunteer help throughout each season!
Fun Fact
