Today we’d like to introduce you to Ginnie Maxwell.
Hi Ginnie, please kick things off for us with an introduction to yourself and your story.
10 years ago we decided to join a running program in Hendersonville, TN for our boys 4 & 6 at the time. We decided after that running series we would bring the program to Mt. Juliet. We started in 2015-2016 season we started Healthy Kids Running Series. Last season was our last season we have turned it over to a new community coordinator and it is going to be continuing forward. We started the program to an opportunity to the special needs community to have a place to be active and for children to learn to love the sport of running. We served over 3000 families during this time.
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
No-Covid! We had to go virtual and we went from averaging 225 runners to 60! Our number of runners was a struggle. We average after COVID about 150 runners!
Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
Teacher/Coach
I teach Computer Science courses at Mt. Juliet High School. I was a programmer for 11 years and then went into teaching. I’ve been teaching 16 years. I’ve been an assistant baseball coach for 5 years. Stepping away from that position this past year and a head cross country coach for 4 years. Continuing that for as long as a I can. I love running and showing kids what running can do for you.
How do you define success?
Someone that completed what they started out to do but also being able to see others become successful with the tools, skills and knowledge you provided them!
