First Place, Together.
“Every handoff carried trust. Every mile carried heart. First place, together.” ~ Natally Rodriguez
I’m so grateful to have run alongside these incredible women at the 2026 Griffith Relay. We didn’t know each other very well going into this race, but we came out the other side as sisters.
That climb up Griffith is a beast, but the flight down is so. freaking. fun. Winning first in our division was the cherry on top. When asked why we did this race, I said, “Because to be badass you have to do badass things.” Natally Rodriguez, Daniela Olivares, Kalina Gamez, and Angelica Avalos are all so badass, and I admire them so much! Thank you for being part of my tribe.
And to all who call themselves part of Nomad Running Tribe, MUCH love. Let’s keep moving forward. 🖤🪶
