CONGRATULATIONS, MIT!!!!!
Another season is behind us. It was such a blast to train together this season and celebrate with you at the Cap City Half Marathon last weekend. I hugged and high-fived SO MANY OF YOU on Saturday, and it really filled my cup to see so many sweaty, smiling faces. Thank you for being you.
I love what I do because of all of you, and I'm so excited for our Summer/Fall Kickoff on June, 10th!
See below for a breakdown of what's coming up in May for the Off Season, and be sure to check your email each week for special announcements.
If you'd like to get involved with MIT this summer, we have several leadership opportunities! See below and apply today. Applications close this Friday!

After careful consideration and planning, I'm excited to share with you some exciting news on the future direction of MIT.
I have worked with many of you, my team at Fleet Feet, and other leaders within our community to lay the groundwork for how we can grow our program and expand our impact with the development of the MIT Advisory Board and MIT Cultural Committee.
And I want YOU to apply!
The MIT Advisory Board (Board of Directors)
A group of appointed experts within our community who will lend their skills, guidance, knowledge and experience to MIT/Fleet Feet to offer advice and direction to help MIT grow and achieve its goals and mission work.
The MIT Cultural Committee (Fun Orchestrators)
Exists to help maintain, uphold, communicate the core values of MIT. It exists to create a culture within MIT where our members can thrive -- both athletically and personally. The MIT Cultural Committee has less rigid requirements for acceptance, and reports directly to me and the advisory board.
Interested in getting more involved? Click below to learn more about the time commitment, requirements, and timeline of these two opportunities. If after reading you feel you'd make a good fit for either group, please apply below!
THE DEADLINE TO APPLY FOR ALL IS FRIDAY, MAY 5TH AT 11:59PM.
