This week, Gagz and Mary Arnold reminisce about the run that
brought them together, how the community based organization
Run 4 All
Women came to be", and how she plans to "connect
communities virtually in an authentic way" with the Womxn Run
the Vote Relay.
Mary is a storyteller, ultrarunner and entrepreneur with over
15 years of experience in sports and fitness marketing in New York
City. The founder of Active Brand
Consulting, she's worked with large brands including Microsoft,
Nike and The North Face and her work has appeared in Runner's
World, Huffington Post, Buzzfeed, Shape Magazine and Good

She's the co-leader of Run 4 All Women, an
organization devoted to empowering people through fitness and
grassroots activism and in her spare time she's the co-host of
the podcast The Earful
Runner. To date, Mary has completed 87 running events of a
marathon or longer distance and she is greatly looking forward to
having an opportunity to crack the 20 hour mark in a 100 miler next
year.
