Marina Kosvogianni

Hey everyone!

For those who don’t know me, my name is Marina, and I’m from Greece!

I’m really excited to put myself forward as your Women's Captain for the XCountry Society. I’ll be here to support every female runner, cheer everyone on at every race and event, and motivate our team to do even better!

Going to the first-ever breakfast run back in October, I felt really welcomed by the committee members, which gave me a sense of belonging. I want to pass down that feeling to everyone in the club and make sure everyone feels the same way!

What I want to do:

• Create a space where every woman runner feels empowered and motivated to push herself, run faster, and break limits. I want us to celebrate our strengths and support one another to keep improving!

• Organize a weekly women-only running event, more frequent women’s social runs, intervals, circuits, yoga, and even breakfast runs! This will boost women’s confidence in running.

• Collaborate with the Men’s Captain to lead more events throughout the week (add a Tuesday training for those who don’t do track), and bring in innovative ideas for more fun runs around the area.

• Increase women’s participation in the club by hosting more women-tailored activities throughout the year, adjusting for different paces and intensities so that everyone feels welcome and included.

Vote for me to take this team to new heights!
