Shannon started working for Racine in 2018 as a Customer Service Representative. She is excited to combine her background in finance and client relations, with her passion for lifelong fitness.

Shannon is an avid runner who has completed 24 marathons, including the Boston Marathon 3 times. She has participated in over 100 running races in the last decade- from 1 mile up to 50 miles, on roads and trails. Over the last couple years, she has started swimming and cycling, and is beginning to take up triathlons.
 

When Shannon is not racing she can be found volunteering at races or cheering her husband Chad on at open water swim races or Master swim meets. Fitness is a family affair for the Matthews, and their 3 kids enjoy cross country, swimming, lacrosse, and hiking. Even their dog gets into the fun, wanting nothing more than to run or play ball for hours at a time.
 

Favorite Racine Multisports Race: Luray Triathlon. “A beautiful course with incredible race support and comradery between racers. It will always hold a special place as not only my first triathlon but my first open water swim and first bike race as well. Everyone from experienced elite triathletes to beginners were enthusiastic and encouraging.”
