The Goose Chase

💙 COMMUNITY SPOTLIGHT: Kate Daughterty 💙

“She hated running.”

Seriously.

As a former softball player, Kate’s idea of running was sprinting 60 feet to first base and sliding the rest of the way. But after moving to Tennessee and not knowing anyone, she decided to take a chance on a Goose Chase race.

What she found wasn’t just a finish line—it was a community.

From strangers who became encouragers to fellow participants who remembered her long after the race was over, Kate discovered that movement is about so much more than miles. Today, she’s continuing her journey from Northern Kentucky and working toward an incredible goal: completing her first Goose Chase Half Marathon.

Her story is proof that sometimes the thing you never thought you’d love becomes the thing that changes your life.

👇 Read Kate’s full story and help us cheer her on as she chases her next finish line!

“I’m still not sure why I keep signing up for races… but I love it.” 🧡

Laura Tyree never considered herself a runner. Now she’s showing up, challenging herself, and finding community one race at a time. From heartbreak to healing, her story is a reminder that sometimes the hardest seasons lead us to the places we were always meant to find.

This is more than a finish line. It’s belonging. 🏃‍♀️✨ Link in bio
