Lily Wu (She/her) founded the Dino Run Foundation in 2023. As a running coach, Wu found that athletes who had positive memories of running or other physical activity as a child were better prepared to take on athletic training into adulthood. They had the intrinsic motivation to put in the effort to train, but also to live healthy, active lives. She designed Dino Run as a kids’ race first; one designed through the eyes of a child. Its main goal is to create a happy and joyous memory of running with the people who love them the most. She looks forward to creating a community of families who run together!
