As we count down the day until the GE Appliances #DerbyFestivalmini & #DerbyFestivalMarathon, the Race Ambassador Team is here with #MondayMotivation

Meet Race Ambassador Jenna! As a University of Louisville student, she enjoys running, cycling outdoors, and trying new restaurants when she’s not in class. Jenna credits #Louisville’s running community for easing her transition into a new city. She ran her first mini last year on a whim and can’t wait to do it again this year.
