Our Team
Kimberly Novosel
Kimberly Novosel founded Lark to connect runners of all paces with the sport and to each other, and to include solo parents who often face their own barriers to getting out there.
Her running career is a ritual that started in high school but really locked in right before she turned thirty, and has carried her to seven half marathons and countless 5k and 10k races around the country. She's a former cycling instructor and yoga and meditation teacher, and she spent time working for Lululemon in New York City. Her current goal is to beat her PR of 2:28:34, set at Seawheeze 2017, at Seawheeze 2027.
Today she owns Ever, a creative marketing studio in SE Portland, and is mom to a six year old, which is its own kind of training.
Founder
Kendyl Smith
Childcare Coordinator & Support TeamKendyl Smith is Lark's childcare coordinator. She's spent years working with kids of all ages as a nanny, an after-school program assistant, and an outdoor school counselor, with Red Cross training in child safety along the way.
She'll be the warm, steady presence at our Thursday childcare table, and she's also serving as a helping hand in the everyday logistics that keep Lark running smoothly behind the scenes.
