Liz has been a Running Leader for four years. She's a no meat athlete and likes running, yoga, and Harry Potter. She's volunteered as a camp counselor twice and is pumped to take on her second year as co-director alongside her faster yet less cool co-captain Jeremy.

Running is Jeremy's favorite. In his free time he enjoys ice pops. He agrees that Liz is the cooler camp director this year.

My name is Brian Cole. The greatest accomplishments in my life are my marriage to my beautiful wife Suzan, and being a father to my children, Spencer and Anna. It was Anna who introduced me to Students Run Philly Style. Anna (now a sophomore at Central High School) started running with SRPS when she was in 6th grade at Mayfair Elementary School.  One practice, in an act of fatherly love, or sheer lunacy (I know not which) I decided to offer my moral support to my daughter in a 7 mile run. In the literal sense, I went from the couch to being a long distance runner.  It was the beginning of two great relationships. First, with my team (Team Mayfair,) and especially our husband and wife running leaders, Kerry and Eve Lubin.  They have become like a second family to my daughter and I could not be prouder.  The second relationship is with the SRPS organization.  Running long distance is the craziest thing I have ever done in my life. Never could I have pictured myself running 10 miles down Broad Street or finishing a half-marathon.  But, the infectious, positive attitude at the helm of this organization makes you believe you can accomplish anything. Lauren, Michael, Andy and Ieshia make me so thankful I can wear the Blue and Green.  

Christopher Pilla is a 10 year running leader with Students Run Philly Style and currently runs with Science Leadership Academy at Beeber.   He works as electrical engineer at Lockheed Martin and lives in the Fishtown/Kensington area.   Besides distance running, Chris enjoys triathlon as well.   Once upon a time he completed in 31 races in a year (5Ks, triathlons, marathons, etc) just to see if his body would break.  It did not.  Chris's favorite part of camp is introducing new campers to the overnight/outdoor experience.

Dan is a running leader at McCall Elementary and studies and works at Temple University. He knows a lot about history and loves sharing fun facts. Dan is excited to join camp for the first time!

Camp was Jessie’s first experience away from home and where she discovered the value of independence and leadership. Camp has always been a fond memory for Jessie. The reason why Jessie is excited for camp is because of the growth she hopes to witness from students. Nothing is more exciting than to observe a student transform and develop character growth and mental growth in 3 days.

Molly is excited to make some friends and memories this year at Leadership Summit. Running has played a huge role in her life since high school. It was such a powerful way of coping with stress and anxiety that she continued her cross country career in college. Outside of running, Molly spends her time painting, drawing, and doing yoga. She loves animals, so if you have cute stories about your dog or cat (or other), strike up a conversation! Molly is an art teacher who loves working with kids of all ages.
