In 2013, Jennifer launched an Elite Racing team under the Millennium Running umbrella. Her efforts to bring together some of NH's best athletes paid off in 2014 as the Millennium Running women's team won the USA Track & Field New England Grand Prix Series- which was the first time a NH club has accomplished this feat in the nearly 40 years of the series. Under Jennifer's leadership, the club repeated as Grand Prix champions in 2015.
Additionally, Jennifer has a tremendous passion for the sport and has been a competitive runner for many years. A two-time All-American at Boston College, Jennifer currently held the school record for 5000m on the outdoor track in 15:47 and was a qualifier and participant in the 2004 Olympic Trials.

After a storied career as a runner (high school at Londonderry High School, NH, college at the University of Michigan, professional running career for Adidas & Rebook), and a decade of NCAA Division-I coaching (Harvard, Boston College, and the University of Kentucky), John returned to his native New Hampshire and turned his sights to event management and founded Millennium Running, LLC in 2010.
"I was fortunate as an athlete and coach to participate in some of the greatest meets and races in the country and around the world," states Mortimer. "One of the goals of Millennium Running is to bring some the grandeur and professionalism of those major championship events to a local community."
Inspired by the success of the Millennium Mile road race (which Mortimer co-founded in 1999 with high school running buddy, Matt Downin and older brother Andy Downin), John decided to change career paths and devote his resources and time to the creation and development of athletic events on a full time basis
