Hi everyone! My name is Maddie and I’m 24 years old. I moved to NYC about a year and a half ago from Orlando, FL. I played sports (mostly soccer) my whole life up until I went to college at UF, but only picked up long distance running when I moved to NYC. I ran my first full marathon (the Brooklyn Marathon) and half marathon (the Brooklyn half) last year. This year I ran the NYC United Half marathon (and PR’d by 7 minutes!), and I will also be running the NYC full marathon this November. My goal is to run a 3 hour 30 minute marathon, but I’ve got a long way to go. I’ve been doing most of my runs alone along the East River, so I am really excited to join a community of people who love to run as much as I do. I was inspired to join this group thanks to Tyler and Keri’s TikToks! I can’t wait to meet you all!
