Rachel Yonan, Member at Large
she/her/hers
When was your first run with YRC? How did you hear about it?
Early January 2022, a dear friend was connected to Dan, and she recommended I check it out.
What does being a "local, lovable misfit runner" mean to you?
It means standing out and being able to be my most authentic self. At YRC, we care about our neighbors, about supporting the businesses we run by as we log miles. It means being a safe, welcoming space for anyone who feels at home when their fit hit the pavement or trail.
What’s your favorite non-YRC running event/route?
Endless love for the Rachel Carson Trail Conservancy; Rachel Carson + Baker Trail Challenge. I've not run them yet but volunteered/crewed both in the past.
What are your non-running hobbies?
I love to listen to music, go to shows & festivals, read, sew and most recently flowstar (cloth spinning/juggling)
