Kim, owner of Fleet Feet Poughkeepsie, brings a wealth of experience and a passion for running and helping others that's truly contagious.
Our training group manager, Ilana, has been running for most of her life. Her years of experience and infectious energy have earned her the nickname "Julie," our very own Love Boat cruise director, guiding us through the highs and lows of training!
Together, these two bring the perfect balance of expertise and enthusiasm to guide you every step of the way. Their favorite thing? Seeing YOU crush your goals! They'll be there to coach, mentor, and cheer you on from start to finish.

We're excited to once again partner with the experts at Feldman Physical Therapy!
Justin and John are essential to the success of our 10-week training program. They lend their expertise in program development and lead your strength training.
They'll also be available to answer your questions and address any concerns throughout your training. They're a key part of the team dedicated to helping you reach your goals!
Dee - 5K Mentor
I started running a few years ago with a Fleet Feet Poughkeepsie 5K group. I have worked my way through 5K, 10K, and half marathon training groups and had the pleasure of mentoring for the first time last fall.
The two best things about running with the groups are accountability and friendship! Follow the plan; it works - whatever your level.
Tracey - 5K Mentor
When I decided that I wanted to start running, I wasn't sure how to begin. Fortunately, I found the Fleet Feet Poughkeepsie training groups and 5Ks eventually turned into half marathons. It hasn't always been easy, but our running community has always been welcoming, informative, and supportive.
I look forward to being a mentor because whatever your goal is, it's really always just one step in front of the other. And I'm so excited to be on this journey with you!
Jolene - 10K Mentor
Today, after multiple half marathons and 10Ks, I'm proof that consistency and trust in the plan pay off. I’m excited to mentor others as they grow and challenge themselves on their own running paths.
Christina - 10K Mentor
Running has become one of the most empowering parts of my life. What started as a personal challenge has grown into a journey of building discipline, resilience, and confidence—one mile at a time. Along the way, I’ve learned that progress isn’t just about pace or distance, but about showing up consistently and supporting the people around you.
I’m super excited to be a mentor for this 10K training group because I know how powerful it is to have encouragement and guidance when you’re chasing a goal that once felt intimidating. I look forward to helping others build confidence, celebrate small wins, and discover that they’re capable of more than they think!
