Running for Connection: A Journey to Build Community Through the Marine Corps Marathon
Manage episode 450344952 series 3290189
In this episode of Maybe Running Will Help, we sit down with Ryan, a first-time marathoner who recently crossed the finish line at the Marine Corps Marathon. But Ryan’s journey was about more than just miles and medals—it was about building community and making sports accessible to kids through his work with the Volo Kids Foundation.
Ryan shares how training for the marathon gave him the structure to balance life’s chaos, the creativity to fundraise in unique ways (think playlist challenges and chocolate milk miles), and the drive to make a difference in the lives of others. He also reflects on how running has helped him find "margin" in his life—a space to reflect, grow, and better serve his community.
If you’ve ever wondered how running connects us to something bigger than ourselves, this is an episode you won’t want to miss!
Key topics include:
- The power of community in running and life
- How sports can be a bridge for belonging and equity
- Unique fundraising ideas that inspire connection
- Ryan’s journey from soccer player to marathoner
Tune in to hear how Ryan is running to create a more inclusive, connected world—one mile at a time.
