In October of 2021, Indiana Department of Correction employee Alexandra Conley set out on a mission to run a race in all 92 counties—you may remember her story from the 2023 September Torch. Her goal started with Gourdy’s Pumpkin Race in Indianapolis, where she had to race while carrying a pumpkin. The unique premise for the race made her dream big and plan to race in every county in Indiana (she also wants to eventually run a race in all 50 states). “I’ve run to the top of bank towers, on military compounds, wineries, you name it. For me, I just get out there and do it,” Conley said about her experience.
And as of September 2024, she’s completed her Indiana county goal!
“Daviess County was my last one…I couldn’t find a race, so I decided to create my own! Friends and family joined me in Washington, IN, and we completed my last county 5K in one of the town’s beautiful parks!”
In addition to running these races, she’s also been raising money for local charities along the way. Next on her list are the New York City Marathon in November 2024 and the Tokyo Marathon in March of 2025. She’s also completed a race in 10 out of 50 states—keep up the great work, Alexandra!
