Meet Winnie, one of your 2026 Marathon Mile Champions! 💙
She loves capybaras, all things blue, Cool Ranch Doritos, and hanging out with her dog and tortoise. She wants to be a pharmaceutical patent lawyer someday, and if she could choose a superpower, she’d pick superspeed. 🏃♀️
Winnie has been diagnosed with Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) Type II and one of the bravest things she has done was undergo spine surgery. Winnie shows the kind of strength that inspires runners all across our course each October.
We can’t wait to celebrate her on race weekend. 🦋

Let’s address our REAL most frequently asked question (because we know potty issues are always on your mind, even months before race weekend). 🏃♀️
We've got you covered with:
🧻 500+ portable restrooms
🧻 Bathrooms in every starting corral
🧻 Even more units just past each fluid station
🧻 A “VIPee” trailer for Children’s Champions (as if you needed another reason to sign up to fundraise and support kids)
Nothing ruins a PR like a panic. Prepare to hydrate boldly and carb-load bravely. 💧🍞
