Sherry is a born and raised Washingtonian who grew up surrounded by a family full of runners. She has always loved running but she began taking the sport more seriously after having kids, using it as a way to stay regularly active. Sherry enjoys the half marathon distance the most, but also loves the adrenaline rush that comes with racing shorter distances. She’s been a Race Director with TCMA since February of 2021.
