Troy Fitzgerald, Founder
I started running at six years old when my father was hit by the jogging craze of the 1970’s. Needless to say, I was hooked. My most memorable race occurred while I was in high school at the 1989 Kansas State Cross Country Championship where I placed 1st in the 1A-2A division in Kansas.
During college, I competed for two years in cross country and indoor/outdoor track at Pratt Community College. After two years, I took a break from collegiate competition and finished my Fitness Management degree at Newman University in Wichita KS. Since that time I have run hundreds of road races, six marathons, and a ½ IronMan triathlon.
My goal was to make a career out of my passion for running and fitness. After college I started working at health related charity organizations, including the YMCA, Leukemia Society, Diabetes Association and the Arthritis Foundation. This allowed me keep doing what I loved by organizing walking and running events as fundraisers for those charities.
In 2008 I started KC Running Company to help others make their runs more successful. As a race director and a runner, my job is to make sure your event is a huge success.
