Dana Mayberry is a dedicated 49 year old runner from Winnipeg who took up the sport almost 10 years ago. After taking almost 30 minutes off her marathon PB at CIM in 2022 with energy to spare, she started to believe that maybe someday she could qualify for the Boston Marathon.

For the past two years she’s been on a quest to not only qualify for Boston, but to run enough of a magical/mystery buffer to grant her entry into the 2025 race (when she will have just turned 50). On Sept 8, 2024, she ran the Georgina Marathon 7 minutes and 34 seconds faster than her BQ, but had to wait two more agonizing weeks before she would learn that it was, in fact, enough (by 43 seconds!)

Dana went to great lengths to “control the controllables” in her qualifying races. Some might call it extreme, but I think it demonstrates her total commitment to a challenging goal and unwavering belief in herself to achieve it. I dare you to listen to this story and not be inspired to go all-in on your next goal!
