Revani G. is one of 26 Speedy Spuds who will run the 2026 Pittsburgh Marathon dressed in a potato costume.
I’ve been involved in sports my whole life and started running track in high school. I ran my first half marathon with my mom while I was in college. I was born in South Africa, grew up in Virginia, and have lived in Pittsburgh for about 11 years. After tearing my ACL two years ago, I realized just how important running was to me. It was a long recovery, but I was thrilled to return and run the Pittsburgh Half Marathon last year.
Half Marathon
Potatoes are comfort food for me. They’re filling, satisfying, and come in so many delicious forms.
I could eat fries every day, but if I’m feeling fancy I’d say scalloped potatoes.
Potatoes are the best—I couldn’t resist applying!
Winter meant lots of treadmill miles, along with cross-training on the bike, pickleball, and weight training to stay strong for race day. I’m incredibly excited to participate as a Speedy Spud.
