Hi everyone! I’m Mackenzie, and I couldn’t be more excited to be running my second Chicago Marathon! This year is especially meaningful for me, I’m running with the Lynn Sage Breast Cancer Foundation in honor of both of my incredible grandmothers, who are breast cancer survivors. Supporting this cause while doing something I love is truly a privilege.

What I’m most looking forward to this time around, besides crossing the finish line again, is being part of a community. I’m really hoping to connect with other runners, not just for the miles and training tips, but to build real friendships along the way. Whether it’s cheering you on at mile 20 or celebrating your victories big and small, I want to be in your corner just as much as I hope you’ll be in mine.

I can’t wait to meet you all and share this journey!
