Lauren Neuschel

Lauren first saw herself as a "runner" in college. She ran cross country and track for Northwestern University and there, she found incredible and equally crazy fellow-runners, an intense Division 1 schedule, and the understanding that the mix of dedication, passion and sacrifice for something can lead to incredible things in all aspects of life. It was one of the most pivotal experiences of her life in so many ways. After college, she started to love the marathon distance and after running several in the US and two abroad (Reykjavik and London), she got the idea that she wanted to run one on every continent. Thanks, WMC! Outside of running, she lives in San Francisco, sell homes as her career, and has an amazing husband and family who have supported her on this journey.
