Speaking Engagements

Emily speaks to running clubs, corporate groups, schools, and race events about the power of running — for audiences of all backgrounds and experience levels.

About

Inspiring runners at every level.

Emily's talks draw on her own journey from casual jogger to sub-3:00 marathoner and UESCA-certified coach. She shares practical advice, honest stories about the ups and downs of training, and the belief that running can transform anyone's life — not just the fastest athletes.

Whether it's a running club looking for race-day strategies, a corporate wellness event exploring the mental health benefits of running, or a school assembly inspiring young people to get moving, Emily tailors each talk to the audience and the occasion.
