Meet Julianne, a masters running dynamo whose resilience powers every stride!🏃‍♀️ Overcoming health struggles from her younger years, Julianne’s greatest achievement is thriving as a competitive masters runner, chasing faster times and inspiring others with her grit. Lacing up her Nike Alphaflys for racing and tracking miles with her trusty Garmin watch, she’s a force on the course. Julianne runs in silence, letting the rhythm of her steps fuel her focus, and loves racing in any weather above 45 degrees—though chilly temps aren’t her favorite, she’ll conquer them with determination! Heat and humidity? No problem!

Powered by her Nark Running & Strength crew, Julianne’s 2025 shines with top finishes: 3rd overall female and 1st in age group at The Ice Breaker 5K, 9th overall female and 2nd masters at Miles on the Mohawk 10M, and another age-group win at OK5K. She’s now training for the Firecracker4 and Silks and Satins 5K to chase a masters 5K PR, with Run 4 the River Half Marathon and Stockade-athon on her fall radar. Post-race, she celebrates with a heaping plate of nachos—pure victory fuel! Join Julianne at the Firecracker4 on July 4th—her competitive spirit will inspire you to hit the pavement! 🏅

Meet Jialin Yu, a radiant runner whose passion for the pavement is unstoppable!🏃‍♀️ Jialin’s journey hit a high note with her proudest moment yet—conquering the 2025 Flying Pig Half Marathon, a race that cemented her love for Cincinnati’s iconic Flying Pig events. Lacing up her trusty HOKA Bondi 9s, she’s already eyeing her return for the QueenBee Half Marathon this October, ready to charge through the course with her signature grit and grin.

When Jialin runs, she’s in her own world, vibing to Yoga Lin’s soothing tunes to sync her breathing and immerse herself in the rhythm of her strides. Imagine Dragons fueled her early runs, cheering her on as she found her footing in the sport. Whether it’s a cloudy day with a gentle breeze or a crisp winter morning, Jialin thrives—though sticky heat and humidity? Total buzzkills! 😅 Her go-to accessory, a Flying Pig running cap, keeps her cool and stylish as she powers toward her big goal: crushing her first full marathon at the Flying Pig in May 2026.

A proud member of the Nark Running & Strength running community, Jialin’s 2025 race calendar is packed with excitement. Fresh off the OK 5K this month, she’s gearing up for the Indiana Ladder 5K in July, the QueenBee Half Marathon in October, and the Troy Turkey Trot 10K in November.

Meet Amy, a marathon sensation whose relentless drive conquers every course! 🏃‍♀️ Joining Nark Running & Strength in 2021 to chase a sub-4-hour marathon, Amy smashed that goal and now holds a marathon PR of 3:36 as well as conquering the Boston Marathon in 2025—a triumphant milestone! Rocking her bright Saucony Elites or Endorphin Pro 4s, she powers through miles with her Garmin Forerunner 265 and Rabbit sports bra (with a handy phone pocket) as her trusty sidekicks. For training, she tunes into running podcasts or fictional audiobooks, but during the 6 marathons she’s already dominated, it’s all about the tunes! Let’s Get Down to Business by Tiësto, Running Up That Hill by Kate Bush, Inner Ninja by Classified, and Run It by Jelly Roll are a few of her favorites songs🎶

Amy loves cool, cloudy days but loathes sticky humidity. After crushing the Electric City 10K, Eastern States 20-Miler, Delightful Run for Women 5K, and ValleyCats 5K this year, she’s eyeing the Firecracker4, Run 4 the River Half Marathon , Stockade-athon 15K, and Troy Turkey Trot 10K. Her goal? Stronger, faster fall and spring marathons. Post-race, her sweet tooth takes over. She once chose a marathon just because they had a candy table! Nerd gummy clusters and skittles —pure victory fuel!

Join Amy at her next next big race, The Firecracker4 on July 4th—her infectious laugh and unstoppable drive will inspire you to run! 🏅
