My name is Jennifer Manware.  I was always active, but didn't start running until I was 40.  I instantly fell in love with the sport! 

I earned my bachelor's degree is in exercise science/human performance.  My master's degree is in elementary education.

In January of 2016 I became a certified Sports Coach through Fleet Feet Sports.

In July of 2017 I became an RRCA Certified Coach (Level1).  I am CPR and First Aid certified through the Red Cross.

I have been an elementary school teacher for 19 years.  I currently teach third grade at Kelley School in Southington , CT.

Four years ago I started a running club for children in grades 3-5 at the school I teach at. For the past two years, I have also been involved in planning a town-wide race for children in grades 3-6 in Southington.  This race acts as the culmination to our running club's spring session.
