Howdy. I'm the Co-Founder and Head of Production Development here at MapMyFitness. You can read a little more about me in my profile below. I moved to Denver, CO from San Diego, CA and before that I was in Boston. I've lived in over 11 different countries and am the product of a British boarding school education!

Profile

I founded MapMyRun.com about 3 years ago when I found a need for an online mapping solution. I was training for my first marathon and didn't own a car so it became difficult to try to gauge my training run distances. I then joined forces with Jeff Kalikstein (from RunningBlogger.com) two years ago and we started developing even more exciting features for the site. In January of 2007 we were able to quit our day jobs and focus on growing MapMyFitness. We chose to name the company MapMyFitness as we wanted to expand into other channels like cycling (MapMyRide), hiking (MapMyHike), etc. Drop me a note through the feedback system. We're working on some exciting new things so keep your eyes on us this fall!

Hey kevin,

Can you add a few more icons for maps? Ie. Filling stations, ambulance, Police, hotel, Media HQ, Race HQ, pit area etc. This would be very helpful for people organizing events!

thanks,

Phlixna

Hi Kevin, I just joined the Marathon training group: I officially start on 10/13. I really just want to make it to a half-marathon by the spring. I love the site, and I haven't begun to scratch the surface of all it offers.
