“During the marathon, I felt better than expected and never hit the wall.” 💥

Sarah followed the hydration, fueling, carb loading, and recovery strategies from Kristy’s nutrition masterclasses — and the results speak for themselves 👏

🏃‍♀️ Averaged 27 seconds per mile faster than her longest training run
⚡ Never hit the wall
💪 Felt stronger than ever
🙌 Felt remarkably normal just 2.5 days after the race

We LOVE offering this 3-part nutrition masterclass series to all registered participants and seeing runners put these strategies into action on race day 💙

June is Pride Month 🌈🫶

As we celebrate love, inclusion, and community this month, we’re flashing back to one of the most meaningful moments from race weekend — the rainb-EAU mile 💙

From the cheers along the course to the emotional finish line moments, this event continues to remind us that the running community is for EVERYONE.

Thank you to everyone who showed up, celebrated, supported, and made the rainb-EAU mile so special this year 🏳️‍🌈✨

This week’s FEET-ured Volunteer Group spotlight goes to the Altoona National Honor Society 💙👏

These volunteers brought the energy to their cheer station and helped keep runners motivated every step of the way!

“Volunteering for the cheer station was so fun! It was great to see the runners and give them encouragement along the way!”

Thank you for helping make ECM Weekend so memorable for our runners!

HER NAME WAS LIZ ❤️

“One of the race support volunteers was running back and forth between mile 19-20. She stuck with me for several minutes of running and walking — talking me through the hurdles I was struggling with mentally, physically, emotionally… all the things.
She also was a lifesaver and provided me some ginger to help soothe my upset stomach. She was amazing. While I wasn’t very communicative at that point, I hope this gets back to her how much I needed her at that moment and that her support (and ginger) helped get me through to the finish.”

This is what the Eau Claire Marathon is all about and a big part of our BACK OF THE PACK initiative.

Thank you, Liz, for showing up for our runners when they needed it most. 💙
