820. Sofia Camacho, Nonbinary Runner, Drag Artist, & 2:29 Marathoner

"Ask questions. I always encourage people to ask me questions. If your question comes with good intentions, I'm not going to be mad at you for it! I'm not going to fault you for that. You just simply don't know." Sofia Camacho is officially one to watch on the NYC running scene. The transgender nonbinary elite runner holds a 2:29:14 marathon personal best, won the nonbinary division at the 2024 New York City Marathon, and, this past weekend, broke the tape at the Bandit Grand Prix. By day, Sofia is a tattoo artist and coach at Mile High Run Club. And by night: Meet Xana Whoria.  FOLLOW SOFIA @sof_camacho SPONSORS:  Shokz: Use code ALI for $10 off your next purchase.
