Hi! My name is Kaylin McKnight and I was born and raised in Cincinnati and have lived here all of my adult life, outside of the 4 years I spent in Wooster, Ohio for college. I played lots of sports as a child and into highschool (softball, soccer, swimming and most importantly cross country!). I had a hard time continuing to prioritize moving my body through college since I chose to focus on my academic career over sports. But as soon as I got back to Cincinnati in 2021, I heard about a running group that had just formed and decided to join to hopefully start to get back to moving my body. I have been a member of the Cincinnati chapter since before we were officially part of the BALG and I am so excited to step into the role of leader! Outside of running, I am a nanny and I love spending every possible moment outside with the 3 little girls that I watch. I also enjoy finding new restaurants and bars to try with my husband, reading, watching movies, doing yard work and house projects, hiking, camping, and just generally being outside!
Favorite Part about BALG
My favorite part about the BALG is the support of the community. I have never felt like I've belonged anywhere so immediately before I started coming to BALG meetups. The group has supported me through many challenges and goals both with fitness and otherwise. I cannot wait to bring more people to the community and show them that running doesn't have to be scary and that they have so many cheerleaders encouraging them to reach for whatever goal they are trying to achieve!
