Olympian Molly Seidel is a professional runner. She is well known for her incredible performance in the Tokyo Olympics heat to win bronze in the marathon. She was 2nd in the Olympic trials, which was her first-ever marathon. In 2021, Molly ran the fastest time ever by an American woman at the New York City Marathon in 2:24:42, shattering the previous course record by more than a minute. None of that success is a fluke. Molly graduated from the University of Notre Dame, where she was a 4-time NCAA champion, 6-time NCAA All-American, 6-time Atlantic Coast Conference champion and 2016 female ACC Athlete of the Year. Molly speaks up about mental health, eating disorders, and the impact physical movement has on both. Molly along with Kathrine Switzer and The Women’s Sports Foundation partnered with Michelob Ultra to help increase representation of female and non-binary runners by bringing visibility to the incredible stories of these athletes and helping more female and non-binary runners to join the race to equality by covering race fees and providing training to first-time marathon runners.
