Hi everyone! I’m Vanessa - live over on UWS and run up & down the WSH. (lived on UES before so the waterways of NYC east & west have been my safe-haven since I moved here in 2022. :,))

I’ve ran for hobby for many years but never long distance until I started training for my first Marathon last June, which I just completed. In Paris!!!! It was the most incredible experience of my life. I had never done a race before, and running with a group of people (55,000) was a truly special experience. My goal is to continue running with community and sign up for more races, & run the 2025 NYC next year!

Looking fwd to meeting some of you + running alongside you.
