What does running mean to you?

It will be an incredible experience where I get to test the limits of my body. For me, I am always striving to improve and evolve myself to be the best person I can be.

What are you looking forward to most about this race?

Running with my BGR sisters. Sisterhood is an incredible community where women uplift each other.

Why Black Girls RUN!?

I’ve been a member since 2014. This is the group where I learned about running and have developed beautiful friendships and better health.
