Denali Lerch

Denali is a small-town girl who was born with running in her blood and has always had a passion for telling stories through different mediums. As a journalism major at the University of Georgia, she experienced the joys of telling people's stories, but had a special interest in Athens, GA's race events, especially those with a mission. Most of her childhood was spent with her parents' running club members as they traveled from marathon to marathon all over the country, introducing her to the running community at a young age. In her free time, she enjoys hiking, reading, binge watching all the hype-worthy shows and attending Georgia football games.
