Kevin Molloy

Kevin Molloy has been a runner and fitness enthusiast all of his life. In 1988 he and his family moved to the Boston area on a IT related relocation. In 1992 he established a running club (Squannacook River Runners in a small New England town of Groton, MA. At the same time he started a local road race know as the Groton Road Race which under his direction over a ten year period blossomed into a 3000 person 10K, 5K, 2K and tots series of events.

In 1995 out of frustration with the limited resourses availaable for event promotion he decided to establish an online running magazine for that sole purposes of propmoting events using Internet technology. Ten years down the road the coolrunning.com site is one of the most respected in the world of running with over 6 million pages downloaded every month. In 1997 a Coolruning Australia was spun off followed in 1999 by Cool Running New Zealand. Kevin is still active with the Cool Running web site.

In early 2003 he became aware of the development of a new line of running shoes in the USA (Loco) with a product line that was targetted to what runners really wanted and a sales methodology that was grass-roots by nature. He grabbed at the opportunity to be part of a small team that is bringing the product to Australia.
