Running can be an exhilarating test of endurance, a quiet meditation, or even just a way to clear your mind on a busy day.

Mario’s foray into running wasn’t born from a lifelong dream. It began as a practical decision – a way to stay active and challenge himself. Over time, however, it became something far greater.
“I never thought I’d be waking up at 3 a.m. to run in Holetown, much less training for a half marathon with a coach and running mates,” Mario laughed, reflecting on his journey.
