Very Sad News

It is with a very heavy heart that we report that our co-worker and our friend Kalgin Koch passed away during a race in Anchorage this summer.  Only 22 years old, Kal was an extremely enthusiastic individual who made friends instantly.  His love of running and ultimate frisbee was contagious.  We will truly miss him.
