Stephany E. is one of 26 Speedy Spuds who will run the 2026 Pittsburgh Marathon dressed in a potato costume.
I’m from Pittsburgh, PA! I started running when a friend would tag me in posts for a virtual run club. I NEEDED those medals! So I signed up for them and would earn them. Eventually, I started signing up for in-real-life races; and never stopped!
Half Marathon
Potatoes are great in EVERY form! They are perfect for carb loading and you can never get sick of them.
My all-time favorite potato dish is homemade mashed potato bowls. You get all of the carbs and protein that you need, with the love of making it together as a family.
I entered the speedy spud contest because I love trying new things. While I have done plenty of races, I have never done one in a costume. I think this will be a fun new challenge! I will also be able to represent a brand that I believe in and I am excited to bring all of that together!!
Signing up for in-real-life races and continuing to run regularly!
