PARITY PATH ATHLETES

KRISTEN WEITZ

My name is Kristen Weitz. I was born in Texas and spent most of my childhood years growing up in the Chicagoland area! I am married with 3 fur children. During the day I’m serving seniors and when I get home, I hit the pavement or trail! I started running in high school, which quickly went from a social outlet to a competitive sport for me. I went on to run for Lewis University where I held the 3000m steeple school record and graduated on an All-American team in 2016. For a long time after I lost my spark for running, until moving to the Chattanooga area! Since then I have completed my first marathon and a few 50-mile races!
