Liz

As a dedicated outdoor enthusiast, Liz grew up doing every outdoor activity except running, but after college, she was roped into her first half-marathon and has been hooked on running ever since. While still easily convinced to join in a marathon, half-marathon, or trail race, Liz is most often found mixing a run on her local trails or neighborhoods between mountain bike rides and rock climbs.
