kate runs. she also bikes, skis, down-dogs, designs, and eats – sometimes too much. follow her progress on the blog.

My name is Kate Ziegler, and I began KateRuns when I ran the Boston Marathon in 2011 in support of a local charity. Take a dip in the archives for more about my experience as a Boston charity runner and follow along as I make my next move!

For my very first marathon bid in 2011, and again in April 2012, I chose to fundraise for the Boston Debate League; readers like you helped me raise $9,987 to support debate programs in Boston Public Schools. Learn more about why the BDL is such a valuable organization for our communities, and read more about my connection as a part of Team Debate.
