Races & Training Runs

Liz started running in 2006 because she was too cheap to pay for a gym membership after grad school. She kept running through moves from Washington DC to Kabul to NYC to Cairo and finally to Brooklyn. She can often be found running in Prospect Park with her dog Meera, who thinks runs in the park are really squirrel hunts.

Kay grew up in Canada where she was inspired at a young age by Terry Fox. She ran varsity in high school and college, coached and led teams in nordic ski, dragon-boat racing and ultimate frisbee. Kay committed to running a marathon a year in her 30s and plans to run ultras in her 40s. She enjoys yoga, reading, traveling and exploring Brooklyn with friends.

I began running in 2015 after being diagnosed with type 2 diabetes as a way to control my blood glucose. I love being a #CHRCnegativesplit because it is fun and challenging plus bananas are my exclusive long distance fuel.

Amanda is a Brooklyn native, with roots in Carroll Gardens, a stint in the Bay Area, and has now been back in Crown Heights and Bed Stuy since 2013. By the end of 2018, she'll have 7 marathons under her belt, and literally more half marathons than she can count. When she's not running, she's probably either eating pizza or plotting her next travel adventure. Maybe both.

An architect who likes exploring the architecture of the city at an 8:30/9:30 pace. Also, enjoys the stress relief that running affords.

Jaimie is from Philadelphia, born and raised, and moved to NYC in 2009. She started running in 2014 as a way to blow off some steam, and somewhere along the way, got hooked. She especially loves running to eat and can talk endlessly with you about food (it makes the run go by faster).

A simple commoner who lives in a shed surrounded by chickens, Spencer is supremely honored to serve in her Majesty's Royal Council. Spencer runs often. In 2010 he ran his one and only marathon with a live streaming camera hat (see photo). He occasionally runs ultras and once he bicycled across Africa.

Nicole ran her first half-marathon when she was fifteen but it took her another fifteen to run a whole one. She hails from Washington state and is a filmmaker and designer. Her lifelong running goal is to race against a horse, not a racehorse, just an ordinary horse racing an ordinary girl. 🐎
