🏆 ONE RACE. TWO VICTORIES. ONE POWERFUL MESSAGE FOR CHELSEA. 🏆
In one unforgettable run, Nya Weems won the 2026 Women’s Open Division and established a new Chelsea Road Race women’s course record of 19:41—becoming the fastest woman ever to complete our course.
Nya’s record celebrates extraordinary speed, discipline and determination. But the meaning of this moment reaches far beyond the finish line.
To every girl and woman in Chelsea: power is not measured by the clock alone. Your victory may be running your first mile, returning after a setback or simply believing that you are capable of more.
Records are meant to be rewritten. Barriers are meant to be broken. Every starting line is an invitation to discover the strength already living within you.
Nya raised the standard—and we hope her achievement raises the dreams of women and girls throughout Chelsea.
Chelsea Recreation & Cultural Affairs and the Chelsea Road Race proudly congratulate Nya Weems—our 2026 Women’s Open Division Champion and the new women’s course record holder.
May your victory inspire many others to begin. 🧡🔥 taken in Chelsea, Massachusetts by @nya_weems

Feeling incredibly grateful to be running in the Irish Life Dublin Marathon as part of the Miles for Miracles team at Boston Children’s Hospital this fall!💚☘️

This opportunity is especially meaningful to me because of the work I get to do as a research assistant at BCH studying Rett syndrome (a rare neurodevelopmental disorder primarily affecting girls). Through this role, I not only have the privilege of interacting with the children and families I am running for, but I also get to contribute to the research and progress being made toward better treatments for this disorder.

I have loved to run for as long as I can remember, and words cannot express how it feels to be able to combine my love for fitness, travel, and advocating for children with neurodevelopmental disorders (all while representing a place that means so much to me!). On October 25th, I will be running for the Rett community that I have the privilege of working with every day. To the incredible girls who make up this community: your courage, strength, and resilience inspire me more than you know. I see you, I admire you, and I am endlessly proud of you always. 🤍

I am so excited to document this journey, raise awareness, and support such an important cause along the way! If you’d like to support, the donation link is in my bio💙Thank you so much in advance for your encouragement, contributions, and ongoing motivation.

all my love,
nya

🎉 33 RUNNERS. TWO TOP FINISHES. ONE INCREDIBLE TEAM. 🎉
La Corsa Club showed up—and showed out—at the 2026 United in Ability Chelsea Road Race!
With 33 registered participants, La Corsa was our second-largest team, filling the streets of Chelsea with friendship, positive energy and a true love for running.
Their runners also delivered remarkable performances, claiming first and second place in the Women’s Open Division. Leading the way was Nya Weems, who became our 2026 Women’s Champion and established a new Chelsea Road Race women’s course record of 19:41. 🏆🔥
But what made La Corsa’s presence truly special went far beyond results.
We are grateful to club leader Garrett Holzer for the encouragement, generosity and positive energy he shared throughout our race preparations. We also thank Chelsea Road Race Ambassador and La Corsa member Audrey Jones, whose connection helped bring our running communities closer together.
Our Co-Director, Eduardo Rodriguez Vivar, experienced La Corsa’s welcoming spirit personally when he joined the club for one of its community runs. The kindness he received from Garrett and the entire team remains a special memory.
From supporting the Chelsea Running Club and bringing 33 runners to our starting line to hosting a table in Champions’ Village, La Corsa didn’t simply come to compete—they came to connect, celebrate and support Chelsea.
La Corsa, you have something truly special. Thank you for running with us, believing in our race and sharing your incredible community with ours.
Second-largest team. Two leading women. One unforgettable La Corsa spirit. ❤️🏃🏽‍♀️🏃🏽‍♂️

🏆 CELEBRATING OUR 2026 WOMEN’S OVERALL PODIUM 🏆
A new champion rose on the streets of Chelsea.
Representing La Corsa Club, Nya Weems completed the 2026 United in Ability Chelsea Road Race in an outstanding 19:41, averaging 6:17 per mile and becoming our Women’s Overall Champion.
Nya finished 13th overall and first among 344 women, establishing a new women’s course record—an extraordinary accomplishment reflecting her discipline and determination.
We proudly celebrate our complete women’s podium:
🥇 Nya Weems — 19:41 | New Course Record
🥈 Bianca Macedo — 19:53
🥉 Jojo Emerson — 21:29
In the days leading up to the race, Bianca, representing La Corsa Club, shared that she had been training with one goal: to become our champion. Despite facing personal challenges, she showed up, competed courageously and finished only 12 seconds behind the winning time. Her perseverance reminds us that being a champion is not defined only by a finishing position, but also by having the courage to reach the starting line when the journey has not been easy.
Jojo completed our podium with a powerful 21:29 finish, earning her place among Chelsea’s 2026 champions.
Our champions crossed a special winners’ break tape presented by Gonnella Law, an official sponsor of the 2026 United in Ability Chelsea Road Race. The tape was held by Audrey and Selma, co-founders of Launch Boston and our Official Community Experience Partner, making these championship finishes even more meaningful.
Nya was also honored with a timepiece donated by Chelsea Clock—an iconic Chelsea institution whose craftsmanship carries the history and spirit of our city. It was a lasting piece of Chelsea presented in recognition of a historic victory.
Carter Park CrossFit also provided complimentary gym memberships to our champions, supporting their continued strength, health and pursuit of excellence beyond the finish line.
On behalf of the City of Chelsea and the Chelsea Road Race community, congratulations! Chelsea celebrates you, honors you and proudly welcomes you into our Community of Champions. 🏆❤️
