Featured Runner Friday! Meet Chantell 💛🏃♀️
Chantell ran her second Spokane Marathon 10K this year, turning a personal challenge into something even more meaningful alongside her fiancé, Huntter. With a 2026 wedding ahead, their 2025 goal was simple: do hard things together and running became part of that journey.
From taking on Bloomsday (and feeling the humbling power of Doomsday Hill 😅) to building consistency through run walk intervals, they showed up day after day. Starting with one minute on, one minute off, they worked their way up to running three to four miles at a time, all while staying injury free and motivated.
Race day brought rain, but also incredible support from volunteers who kept them going every step of the way. A final boost near Hello Sugar, complete with cheers and treats, helped Chantell push strong to the finish 🙌 Next up they’re eyeing the half marathon… and maybe even the full 👀
For Chantell, running is more than fitness, it’s growth, perseverance, and sharing the journey with the people you love. Thank you Chantell for sharing your story! 🧡
