Jenn is Catherine’s younger sister, and anyone who knew them as small children probably remembers their constant bickering more than any sense of affection. Lucky for them (and their parents), they outgrew that phase, especially after one overlapping year at Dartmouth and two more in the NYC metro area. A lover of all things dog- and food-related (she’s an expert gluten-free chef!), Jenn works at a hedge fund and lives in Stamford, CT.

Adam and Ben first met in February of 1993, when Adam was brought home from the hospital! Early on, they bonded over their common love of Nickelodeon cartoons (especially Hey Arnold!), and as the years went by they attended music camp together and developed a wide range of shared interests, including comedy, Yankees baseball, and all things music! After a year in Oxford, UK, Adam now lives in Brooklyn.

Emily and Catherine met freshman year of college as members the of Dartmouth swim team; they lived in the same dorm complex that year and bonded over their 5am walks to the pool and weekly episodes of House, M.D. Emily is a nature-loving biologist who lives in practically-Canada, Washington with her husband Aaron, a menagerie of animals, and daughter Enna.

Bobby and Ben first met in November of 1988, when Ben was brought home from the hospital! In the early 90s, they woke up together at 6am on Saturdays to watch Captain Planet on TBS, and a decade later, they woke up together at 6am on Saturdays for Cross Country and Track & Field invitational meets! Bobby lives in New York City, where he can often be seen leading group runs in Van Cortlandt or Central Park.

Ben and Aditya met in 7th grade, and their friendship continued to grow over the years. They developed a healthy competition on Spanish tests in 8th grade, and in high school continued that healthy competition as throwers on the Track team, and as two of the consistently slowest runners on the Cross Country team. They stayed close throughout the years, even with Aditya on the West Coast for almost a decade! Aditya now lives in New York City, where he works as a software engineering manager.

Nora and Catherine have been friends since their IB days at Campbell HS, where they were both overachievers. Catherine can thank Nora for teaching her exactly one sentence in Finnish, being her main RunKeeper support network during various training plans, and being the friend who is most likely to pop into town for the weekend. Nora is a consultant and lives in Chicago, a city that she loves, with her husband Adam and their pup Bowie.

Molly and Catherine met when Molly moved to Georgia at the end of 6th grade, and the two shared many adolescent adventures, including youth group spring break trips to Mexico. As adults, they’ve continued to be travel buddies, exploring Machu Picchu and road tripping through Tennessee and Kentucky. Molly is an elementary school teacher and triathlete who now lives in Chattanooga, TN after four years in the Middle East.

Ben and Yan met in 6th grade, and became friends in 7th grade as they connected over their appreciation for NBC comedies (which has continued to do this day). Their common interests range from music, to politics, to stand-up comedy, and they were lucky enough to overlap in the New York area for five years after college! Yan still lives in New York City, where he works in finance.
