All of the amazing experiences you have inside Fleet Feet Roanoke's walls are all thanks to Jenn! She manages our team of Fit Specialists, creates incredible retail designs, and brings an infectious excitement to the team! Jenn is a champion of the Movement Changes Everything sentiment and chases BIG goals, like completing a 100 mile bike event in Sept 2025. Jenn can solve just about any problem, is a super mom, and keeps us all energized and ready for a great day at Fleet Feet Roanoke. One of our favorite places to find Jenn - handing out high fives and hugs at the finish line! 

 SEÑOR SPENDER | Jaime Barcenas

If you see a retail item at Fleet Feet Roanoke, you can thank Jaime for it. Our Purchasing Professional, Jaime puts an incredible amount of brain power into selecting our retail items, predicting future trends in the industry, and making sure we have the coolest and best gear around. You won't see or hear him much, but when you do - it's unforgettable and usually filled with laughs (often at the expense of Jenn). Jaime has a a daily movement streak in the THOUSANDS, so he definitely is living the Movement Lifestyle. 

 MARKETING + EVENTS  | Jes Curtin

Our resident Swifie, Jes is the voice behind the social media accounts, newsletters, website, and designer of outreach materials and some in-store signage. She is a relentless advocate of having a glitter station at every event. Flexing her event-planning muscles, Jes works closely with Bobbie for all the fun events where you find Fleet Feet Roanoke. Her preferred method of movement is teaching spin classes at a local fitness center, especially when the playlist is full of FUN. This self-proclaimed "baby runner" is new to running and training for her first triathlons this summer.
