Jessica Murphy
Co-Founder
Jessica does a bit of everything at BibRave - from the fun to the gritty. Prior to dedicating her time exclusively to BibRave, Jessica most recently served as the Managing Director for Runner’s World. She spent 10+ years in Advertising, Marketing, and Sponsorship Sales across some fabulous non-running related organizations from Nike to LinkedIn to The Atlantic!
Jessica has run over 20 marathons, 3 ultra-marathons, and loves finding new running adventures to explore! When she’s not running she loves food, and traveling for food and - of course - running!
Tim Murphy
Co-Founder
Tim Murphy co-founded BibRave in late 2013, originally creating a place for runners to gather online and discuss the best races to run, the best gear to try, and the best nutrition to use. From there, the company expanded into community building and influencer marketing, eventually becoming a broad-based marketing agency.
Tim has also started and grown companies in the healthcare and young professional development space, beginning his career at a Washington, D.C. consulting firm and starting his first online business in 2010.
Tim has run 17 marathons and 5 ultra marathons, and is currently shopping for his next race. Talk to him about gear, podcasts, food, Star Wars, the TV show LOST, technology, trail running, beer, bourbon, or coffee.
Andrew Wallace
Senior Vice President
Andy is based in Chicago, Illinois! He’s been with BibRave since 2017, working from managing our race partners to now overseeing all our programs and partnerships. BUT... in a former life he was a high school music educator for 11 years, having studied music education at the University of Illinois (I-L-L!). Andy has completed 10 marathons, and when he’s not running around Chi-Town, he’s singing, dancing, and directing a adult contemporary cabaret ensemble, The Chicago Red Line.
Julia Montag
Vice President of Strategic Accounts
Julia is originally from Chicago (the city, none of that suburb non-sense) and is currently living in PDX. She’s been with BibRave since 2014, starting out as a volunteer and making her way from community manager to currently overseeing our incredible brand clients. She loves running more than anything (even more than her dog Layla and Abe Lincoln - and she loves those two a lot). When she’s not running, Julia is probably outdoors, hiking or MTB, or at an Andrew Bird concert.
