“Hi, my name is Lori Fox, and I began running 9 years ago. Although, I was late to running I embraced it wholeheartedly. In 2016, I met Kathrine Switzer at the Niagara Falls Women’s Half Marathon, and she told me about 261 Fearless. When I learned about the 261 Fearless mission of uniting and encouraging women through running, I knew I found something truly unique and special. So, I became a 261 Coach in 2019, and began coaching with the 261 Fearless Club GNY-Rochester. I was able to witness, first-hand, the impact 261 Fearless Club GNY-Rochester was making on the club members, and I wanted to pay it forward and reach more women. I applied to become a Master Coach. I am learning so much! The 261 curriculum is rigorous, as it should be, as education is the key. With each session I delve deeper into the content /curriculum of 261. It has been an amazing journey so far, and I am extremely grateful for the opportunity to become a 261 Master Coach.”
