“I am a runner… because I like far distances and cake.” ~ Carrie Wetzel
All shapes, sizes, colors, ages and abilities: all runners. Some are new to the sport, others have run their entire lives – 60 years plus. From 5Ks to 100-mile Ultras, transcendent runs and torturous ones, these athletes challenge themselves to go faster or farther, to discover the limits of who they are and what they can do, for a hat or medal or just to say, “I am a runner.”
