832. Olivia Enright, Creator of the "12 Olivias" Hood to Coast Team

"I am shocked at the amount of Olivias that responded to a random message on Instagram." Olivia Enright is so fun . She's a sports marketing manager of global running for adidas, she ran at NC State (her BFF is pro runner Erika Kemp !), she's currently training for the Chicago Marathon, and she's a former competitive jump roper. (Olivia's sister and fellow former competitive jump roper, Cara, has been on the Ali on the Run Show before !) But most relevant to this conversation: Olivia is the brains behind the 12 Olivias Hood to Coast relay team. In this episode, she talks about how she came up with the idea to put together a group of same-named strangers to run nearly 200 miles across Oregon, and how she has actually brought this to life over the past four years.
