The Journey Begins

I’m lacing up my sneakers with a bold mission: to run a 5K in every U.S. state, discovering what makes each place unique along the way. From tracking my progress to meeting passionate runners and delving into the running culture of each state, join me as I set out on this thrilling journey. Ready to hit the starting line with me?

I first got the idea to travel around running races from a friend, Dan, an accomplished Iron Man and marathon racer. I took his suggestion and it snowballed into my new bucket list goal: to race in every state. While this goal seems quite ambitious for a 5'1" nineteen year old who flips burgers for a living, I plan on proving my readers, wrong (or right... I'm not sure what you think about the whole idea).

I created this blog to document many aspects of my journey. First being my overall development as a runner and athlete, second as a person and friend, and to share my findings on run culture across the nation.

I am so excited to get things rolling as I begin this new journey! Stay tuned for new posts and updates.
