president - JUSTIN FISCHER

Justin is a trail and road runner who especially enjoys group runs and mountain terrain. He started running for exercise as a replacement for playing basketball. His favorite running friend is his dog Juniper, a very cute bernedoodle. He loves showing people the trails near Moscow and Pullman (and the Wallowa mountains). Justin served as the race director for the Snake River Canyon Half Marathon in 2019, 2020, and 2021. His current personal running goal is to run every street in Pullman. Justin’s other favorite activities include board and role-playing games, hiking, backpacking, and skiing.

Adam Williams

Adam balances his professional day job at WSU, teaching yoga at Sanctuary, and endless miles on the trail and road. Familiar with ultramarathons, including podium finishes in 200+ milers, Adam continues to develop his long distance appetite while seeking adventure on the trail beyond formal racing. With PRR he is able to connect with others in all forms of running at every level to continue to build a community on the Palouse. Feel free to reach out to Adam about daily training, long-distance trail or road running, wilderness adventures, and cross-training... including joining either of his weekly hot yoga classes!

vice president - Emily holmes

Emily started distance running with the Moscow High School cross country team in 2006. A trail obsession led her to Bozeman, MT, for a decade where she worked seasonally for the ski industry and as a rangeland ecologist, coached athletes of all kinds, and ran ultra marathons. Now a MFA Creative Writing candidate at UI, she is excited to be back in her hometown running community. Emily joined the board in 2022 and is most excited about PRR’s local races, trail stewardship opportunities, and promoting equity within the outdoors scene. She and her elderly dog also ski, bike, and look for wildflowers and mushrooms.

social media coordinator - michael decker

Michael started running in the early 2010s when he worked and lived at a ski resort. He believes that running centers his mind, and maintains that he wrote every paper for his graduate degree in his phone notes app while running on Moscow Mountain. This mind-body connection is what attracts him to running trails. You can probably find him running on Moscow Mountain with his dog, Trout, most days of the week. Michael is excited to help PRR with social media outreach and organizing races and events.

treasurer - Liz Martin

Liz is the backbone of PRR finances and race co-director for Moscow Mountain Madness. She’s so busy keeping the rest of us in line, we don’t have a complete bio or photo yet!

secretary - Nikki LeBlanc

Nikki started running in high school as a means to burn off extra energy and has been running off and on ever since. You can often find her running around Pullman in bright, sparkly clothing with her dog Kepler at her side. Nikki's favorite running is downhill road running of any distance, and enjoying all there is to offer in running around the Palouse. Her passion with PRR is giving runners and future runners of any background and fitness level the opportunity to find what they love in running locally and the camaraderie of fellow runners. When not running, you can find Nikki birding or cycling.

Blanca Biladeau

Blanca is an integral part of managing PRR’s membership and communications. You may also see her in a bear suit at some of our races and events. Stay tuned for a bio, it’s hard to write with bear paws!
