Inclusivity & Representation w/ Sarah Stuhr
Sarah Stuhr is one of our 2024 Grambassadors, selected from a large group of applicants to share their passion and knowledge of our race weekend.
Stuhr was the first-ever non-binary champion of our Garry Bjorklund Half Marathon, finishing that race in a time of 2:56:58.
They joined the podcast to talk about the importance of inclusivity in running, specifically pertaining to non-binary and transgender participants. Stuhr details the important work they've seen done in the past five years, including the addition of official non-binary categories at races like Grandma's Marathon, and also offers a current status of where they believe we are as a running community.
