Russell Holman
Run Club Coach
Russell is an arborist with a love for running. When he’s not diagnosing and treating trees, or trying to run 100+ miles in a month just for fun, he can be found hitting the pavement training for races—his favorite distance is a half marathon, and he’s excited to be running the BAA Distance Medley this year. Russell grew up swimming competitively and running cross country, and his love for movement has encompassed hiking, boxing, and strength training. Russell sits on the board of the Mass Arborist Association, and enjoys home brewing, tending to his orchard, and the antics of his dachshund Twyla.
