Alyson and Zach met in 2019 at Waterfall Glen forest preserve when she went for a run with her brother, Jackson, and ran into his friends Chris and Zach! The four stopped to talk and of course Alyson thought Zach was a cutie and had to follow him on Strava. Little did they know, one year later in April 2020, Alyson and Zach would have their first date at the same trailhead! Their first date was a run at Waterfall Glen in Darien, Illinois and ice cream at Andy's. After that, the rest is history. They moved across the country together in August 2020 to Boulder, Colorado with their dog Moose. After exploring the mountains of Colorado, they decided to move to a small town in Montana called Bozeman! Four years together and many adventures later, Zach asked Alyson to marry him at Sypes Canyon overlooking all of beautiful Bozeman.
