It’s not often that a runner making a TCS New York City Marathon, presented by New York Road Runners, debut wins the whole thing, but Sharon Lokedi isn’t an ordinary runner.
Lodeki started running as a young girl in Kenya, having competed on a high school level. In college, her running career really began to take off.
“My competitive journey really took off in college at the University of Kansas, where I was able to compete at a higher level and won the NCAA 10,000-meter championship,” said Lokedi. “That experience and the support I’ve had from Under Armour, since becoming part of their Mission Run team in 2019, have allowed me to pursue running professionally and work toward new goals.”
