Meb Keflezighi, the only athlete to win the Boston and New York City Marathons and an Olympic marathon medal, will join the Kilter Board of Advisors. The newly created Kilter Board of Advisors is committed to advancing the platform’s social engagement that connects active lifestyles with important causes.
Seth Braddock, Kilter Founder and CEO, said Keflezighi, who is spearheading the MEB Foundation which supports healthy lifestyles for youth, has long recognized the significance of combining charitable social impact with health and wellness, and will begin his involvement with the mobile app platform with an event, Kilter’s Fall Hustle.
“Running for me has always been as much about the community as the competition. It really does take a team to achieve your goals,” said Keflezighi. “Kilter takes us to the next level of activity and community. Regardless of our age, ability or location, we can all live healthy and active lives while making the lives of others better. And with the Kilter’s Fall Hustle, everyone training for a fall marathon can come together to make every mile of training count, both on and off the roads.”
Meb will be joined on the Kilter Board of Advisors by his brother and athlete manager, Merhawi Keflezighi, who also represents athletes and influencers such as the U.S. Olympic Trials Marathon Champion, Aliphine Tuliamuk, Olympic shot-put medalist Joe Kovacs, trail running champion Joe Gray, Olympian/author/filmmaker, Alexi Pappas, middle-distance runner and role model, Nikki Hilktz, Triathlete and Olympic medalist, Katie Zaferes, and American Record Holder in the Triple Jump, Keturah Orji.
