Back again for the 6th year in a row is Vertical Runner of Wooster's Ladies Night! This event will be held on Tuesday, March 13th at 6:00 p.m. Come spend time at the store with all of your female running friends and learn more about the female specific side of the running industry! Custom bra fittings, samples from our vendors, camaraderie, appetizers and wine, and great information sharing throughout the night!
Guest Speakers will include:
Andrew Durniat -- Owner, Durniat Strength
Jaime Parsons -- Executive Director, Viola Startzman Clinic
AND
Emma McCarron, whose current career includes:
Marathon Wins at Glass City Marathon (2017), and Akron Marathon (2017)
Current Marathon PR of 2:50:12 (Glass City Marathon, 2017)
You will also see Emma at many races around the area ranging in distance from 5k to Marathon, and you'll know who she is based on the fact that she's usually the first female to finish (and sometimes nearly the first competitor to finish). She's a fierce competitor, best friend to sister Grace (who is also an elite runner), High School XC coach, and also ran Track and XC at Capital University.
And...she is a Mommy to an amazing little girl and does a great job of balancing work, parenting, and training!
