Superhero Spotlight

A celebration of the women runners in our communities who inspire us.

In this series, we highlight the running journeys and stories of the running superheroes in our communities. These remarkable women may not be on the cover of a runner's magazine (yet), but their stories are truly inspiring. Through our conversations with these women, we are reminded of the reasons we love running. We are also reminded that every woman's running journey is unique, and, because of that, we are motivated to continue chasing our own running successes.
