Jacob Kenny

Jacob Kenny of Salisbury got the running bug a few years ago and is regularly achieving PRs (personal records). You’ll find him at many local races and at Eastern Shore Running Club events.

When and why did you start running?
I started running in 2020, picked up the habit during Covid and because close friends with Matt and Brittany Wolske who encouraged me to give it a try.

Do you have a favorite distance? How about a favorite place to run?
My favorite distance when I’m running by myself is 10 miles. I enjoy the challenge of new PRs. I really enjoy trail running and like the beauty and peace of the trails at Pemberton Park and Naylor Mill.

What’s your training schedule like? Do you cross train? 
I try to run with Eastern Shore Running Club at least once a week and I really enjoy my Thursday evening runs with the Delmar crew. I am currently training for the Tuckahoe 25k in November and Algonquin 50k in February and I do my long run solo on Sundays.

Any particular running goals?
To complete the Algonquin 50k in February.

What do you do when you’re not running? 
I enjoy fishing, I am very involved at my church, Christ Methodist Church. If I’m not running, on the water, or at church, you can find me with my amazing wife Erin and our two Dogs Lucy and Piper.
