Lori Herron was born to run long distances. The now 59 year old started running at 38, and jumped in with both feet tackling a 64.5km race as her first event. In the last 20 years Lori has raced the Boston Marathon, completed 12 x 100mile races, a 200mile race, and is signed up for a 5 day stage race next year. She has great advice for anyone looking to take up running or tackle a new distance. Lori’s compassion for others and appreciation for trail running will undoubtedly leave you with a more positive outlook.

April went from not being able to run 60 seconds to running the Chicago Marathon. When she was in the darkest place in her life she buckled down and got out the door. She didn’t know anything about running, she just wanted to have peace in her mind and to love life again, and she did! She is now 4 years in the game and loving what running has done for her and her life.
