MEET YOUR CRUSH COACHES
COURTNEY WHITBY
Courtney is on her 10th year as our CNR Race Director. She crushed her first marathon (MCM) and will be running in the Shamrock Marathon & 8K this year.
Courtney has competed in triathlons, half marathons, marathons, and 5Ks, but truly enjoys a good fun run with her kids -
either chasing them on their bikes or running side by side.
She believes there is no finish line!
GLENN EDWARDS
Glenn started his running journey in 2014 at age 53. He joined North End Run Club in 2016 which led him to begin a run club called FOMO. It was through this family of running friends that he finished his first half marathon along with picking up a couple of age group awards. Now entering his 10th Crush N' Run, and many races, PR's, and awards later, he believes that all you need to do is find a buddy, commit, and get running, then you will CRUSH your goals!
TODD BERNARD
Todd has run multiple marathons, but prefers the half marathon distance. He also loves the water (surfing, boating, fishing). He is a Running Etc. Ambassador and co-leads the Brew Crew Run Club!
keisha stephens
Keisha is a firm believer in the power of showing up. As an education leader and a mom of three, she is no stranger to the endurance required for the daily "marathon"! She has conquered every distance from the 1-mile to a marathon. Keisha is at her happiest when she's hitting the Virginia Beach boardwalk or sand. Her favorite part of being a coach is cheering on the Crush N' Run club members toward a new personal best!
KIM BERNARD
Kim has been a competitive marathon runner and ultra runner for almost 30 years. She is a Running ETC Ambassador and heads up Brew Crew for Running ETC. She is very active in the running community. Kim loves local running groups for every age because you don’t have to be fast to be involved - it’s just fun to run, especially with partners!
JP LOPEZ
Born and raised in VB, JP now resides in NFK and co-leads the Norfolk Run Club alongside his wife. JP's an Alter Ego Running ambassador, all about a good craft beer with good company, outdoor adventures, and staying active in the community! He also appreciates a great dad joke, so be sure to share one with him! See you out there! 🫡🤙🏼
