Athlete of the Month

Keri trained for her first marathon while juggling her daughter’s demanding dance competition schedule, navigating nagging and recurrent injuries, and managing the everyday chaos of life. But through it all, she showed up, stayed committed, and never stopped believing in the goal ahead.

And then… Philadelphia Marathon happened – and she had the race of her dreams!

Keri’s consistency, grit, and positivity have been inspiring to watch. The entire Rise Up Racing family is celebrating her today!

Here is what Keri says:

“I am so grateful that I was able to check “run a marathon” off my bucket list for my 50th birthday! The first half was a party through my favorite city, then at mile 16 I turned on my playlist and there was a mental shift of, ok now it’s time to WORK. Training with Kristin truly prepared my body and mind for 26.2 distance. It meant so much knowing that all of Rise Up Racing and my running community was pulling for me to finish. I will never forget this incredible day!”
