Stephanie joined NYRR Group Training as a participant back in 2018 and has been going to weekly workouts and weekend long run sessions (when she can!) ever since. To date, Stephanie has run 7 marathons in 4 states and on 2 continents, including the New York City Marathon twice, the Chicago Marathon, and the Loch Ness Marathon in Scotland. Originally from the San Francisco Bay Area, she’s found her stride in NYC cruising up and down the hills of Central Park and along the bridle path. Stephanie enjoys talking to other runners about why they run, when they got started, and any goals they may have. She hopes to provide an encouraging environment for runners of all abilities working to get stronger while having fun!
