Miles for More — Four Marathons. One Year. A Bigger Reason.

Allison Bell is a 40-year-old working parent from St. Louis, Missouri running four marathons in 2026. She started running in her late thirties to handle stress, and chose a goal she wasn't sure she could finish. The miles are the challenge; the more is the reason.

Two marathons down. Two to go. Follow the training, read the race recaps, and help raise funds for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital and Dare2tri.
