Janae Richardson

Janae Richardson is passionate about learning and helping others grow and develop through physical fitness. After growing up in Idaho, she came to Ogden, Utah to attend Weber State University. It was at WSU, while running on the track and cross country teams, that Janae met her husband Ken. They fell in love with each other, with the Wasatch mountains, the people, the Ogden vibe, and never left. Owning a brick and mortar local business seemed like a great way to give back to the community where they are raising their 3 children. So in 2019 they opened up Utah Running Shop as an extension of their existing business UtahRunning.com. Janae has a master’s degree in Exercise Science and has been coaching runners of all levels for 15 years. She is currently the Vice President of their non-profit Velocity Kids Running Club, an assistant coach at Weber State University for the cross country and track team, and a physical education teacher at the local Junior High.
