Meet the Team
-

Riley Cooper
is a consultant in Boston and recent Brown University graduate who spent four years rowing at the collegiate level. Endurance and time outdoors have always been core parts of Riley’s life, which is why running, hiking, rowing, and photography continue to shape how she stays connected to her community and the environment.
Riley is excited to bring that same commitment to this year’s marathon.

Haydn Herrema
grew up in and around Boston, playing soccer and running track through high school. His love of sports evolved into a habit of long-distance running while at the University of Pennsylvania, where he also discovered his passion for scientific research. After graduating, he worked in a lab that studies human memory before moving to Cambridge to work at a neurotech startup.
He has run two marathons and hopes to run many more! This autumn, Haydn started his PhD at Eawag, the Swiss Federal Institute of Aquatic Science and Technology, studying the physics of lakes.

Jon Madorsky
is a Managing Partner at RCP Advisors, and has been involved in the private equity industry for nearly 20 years. His passions are rooted in environment and water based activities. In much of his free time he’s outside, rooting into nature. He sails, runs, swims, and rows. He is also a restorative farmer and beekeeper!
Supporting the Charles River Watershed Associate squarely overlaps with his personal passions, and he says he is happy that the Boston Marathon introduced him to CRWA.

Chris Towle
is the Senior Health & Safety Specialist at Air Products. He is part of a combined family with five amazing kids: Alex (22), Luke (20), Haley (18) plus Mandy’s kids, Charlie (22) and Ben (20). His main passion is road cycling, though he’s always liked running… except when it hurts. He and Mandy enjoy canoeing and hiking, and had the trip of a lifetime with the kids last summer when they hiked 6 days on the Laugavegur Trail in Iceland!
