Description

It was a unique set of circumstances that brought Kellyn Taylor to Grandma's Marathon in June 2018, and she arrived in Duluth with something to prove.After having to withdraw before the halfway mark of a cold and rainy Boston Marathon in April, Taylor was in top shape and now had an opening on her schedule for a Grandma's Marathon appearance.She ran 2:24:28 to set the event record, breaking the old mark by more than two minutes. Of course, she remembers that day fondly and shares more about the events that led to her record-setting run in Duluth.She also touches on her Olympic dreams (which may come true sooner than later), being a certified firefighter, and how she balances her professional running career with family life.
