🌟PASSION. PERSEVERANCE. PERSPIRATION. 🥵 Congrats to all the @chimarathon runners this past weekend! It was a rough race with conditions going from Yellow Alert to Red Alert, but y'all persevered and did it. 💪🎉 @familystylerc and @readandrunchicago sang our praises during our Medal Monday karaoke dinner party at @hai_bayo! 🎤🥂 We celebrated not only those who ran the Chicago Marathon, but also those who ran any other races in 2026. 🏅 Thank you to @chargelusa and @propelwater for fueling us through our entire race season this year! Check out more photos from our Medal Monday Celebration at the link in our bio! 📸: @worldwith.thewu

From the @chimarathon to the @_womenleaders National Convention! 😮‍💨 This past week was about empowering women athletes, elevating representation, and building community through running. This week, it’s about investing in the future of women in sports—strengthening the leadership pipeline, creating opportunities, and building an ecosystem where women can lead, thrive, and succeed at every level. Why??!? Because representation matters, that’s why! NOT just on the field, court, or racecourse, but in the boardrooms, behind the scenes, and at every table where decisions are made. We’re not just making space for women in sports. We’re building a future where women belong, lead, and shape the game. 🫱🏾‍🫲🏽 If you see it - you can believe it! #WomenInSports #RepresentationMatters #WomenInLeadership #SportsAttorney #SportsAgent Sport Advocate Sports Coach Protect Title XI

Shook out our nervy legs with @readandrunchicago by running and walking the part of the @chimarathon course that runs through Chinatown! Our special guest, Julie Justinson of @sweatyponytails, sent our runners off with messages of hope and excitement for tomorrow's big day. After our shakeout run/walk, @chicagopubliclibrary - Chinatown Branch manager Stuart Griner gave us an insightful tour and history of the library. The Chinatown branch has running-related books for youth and adults, in English and Mandarin. Come check them out! As always, we're fueled by @chargelusa and @propelwater, which were very much needed with today's warm weather. We also had @ugreen_official running belts and sweat-absorbing headbands, and @hydrapak hydration bottles and a @rollgahealth foam roller as giveaways! Want more @chimarathon action? Join us at our cheer zone with Read & Run at mile 18.8 (West 15th St. & South Loomis St.)! We'll be there from the beginning until the last runner.
