Citlalli Gomez

Citlalli is a proud daughter of immigrant parents. She has been running for over 15 years and has a goal to run a half marathon in every state in her lifetime (12 down, a lot more to go!) When she was 21, Citlalli survived an attack while on a run training for her first full marathon. Due to the extent of her injuries and mental barriers after the attack she did not run that marathon. Ten years later she decided it was time to face her fears head on and signed up to run the Every Womans Marathon in 2024. Citlalli was able to finally run her marathon almost exactly 10 years later to the date of her previous attack. It was a journey that took literal blood sweat and tears to finally accomplish. Citlalli lives in Charlotte NC and loves participating in all the run clubs in the city.
