Paige on why she runs:

I love to run because it makes me feel a part of something bigger, it amazes me that our community is a global one, it’s truly a special thing. I also cannot deny this innate need within myself to train and push myself to the absolute limit…it’s incredibly satisfying and has brought me through trial some moments in life. When it comes to racing, I love it all. I love the hype. I love the nerves. I love those silent moments on the line that pull you out of yourself, followed by the gun igniting the stampede of feet. But most of all, I love the feeling of my beating heart, pounding out of my chest and being surrounded by other beating hearts all striving to be better too...I run because I love testing what’s possible.
