James Jalandoni

James came to running in 2022 after the birth of his first child, looking to get back in shape. What started as chasing a faster 5K at Kensington Parkrun quickly led him to MCRRC, where he discovered that the community and friendships were just as rewarding as the PRs. Since joining, James has trained with XMP and runs with the competitive racing team. When he’s not running, he works in engineering leadership in the tech industry. James is a father of two living in Bethesda, and on any given morning, you can probably find him logging miles on the Capital Crescent Trail.
