It is an honor to have the embodiment of the dedicated amateur runner of the show, Ankita Gaur. Ankita started her running journey with modest goals and grew into a leader in her city, country, and across the globe. She has helped grow the running community in Bangaluru, India with the backing of Adidas. In this episode we talk about how she has counseled other female runners who have to fight against cultural norms, how she has responded in those same situations, running/weight/body image, how she is working through the COVID-19 isolation, and much more.

This is why non-profit organization Kids On The Move and race specialists Runtastic Events partnered to create the Heber Half Run For Autism. The race is happening this June 27th in the gorgeous Heber Valley, UT. After receiving confirmation from the Wasatch County Health Department that this year’s race can happen in person, the Heber Half Run For Autism is excited to continue the 2020 run as planned with special health precautions in place to keep runners safe and healthy. They even added a virtual race option for this year’s run for individuals who want to support children with autism no matter where they are!
