Vanessa Castro has been running since 2015. Initially a way to relieve stress, running has become a personal passion for Vanessa. She started with the Couch to 5k app and has since progressed to marathon running, including the NYC Marathon, a race she cherished as a spectator growing up. Vanessa has been part of Team Track Shack since 2021, serving as an Ambassador for 2 years before joining the team. She values the community and friendships she has formed through running, particularly with the Orlando Galloway Program. Vanessa's journey reflects her belief that every pace matters, and she continues to inspire others by running races while pregnant, postpartum, and pushing a stroller.
