Nichole Brown

Growing up a basketball player, Nichole was often one of the slowest and last ones in conditioning drills, her coaches would be floored to know she now runs for fun. After becoming a mom Nichole started entering 5k's, then progressed on to longer distances. Her first marathon was in 2011 and she swore she would never do that again, but after some amnesia and more babies, in 2014 she gave it another go and has been going non stop ever since. London will be her 18th marathon and 5th world major (Boston '16 '19 '21, Berlin '18, Chicago '18, New York '19). This will be Nichole's third time training for London, as the race was cancelled in 2020 and in 2021 she lost her sweet mother in law a week before the race and cancelled the trip. Finally running London feels like a dream come true- and she is certain she'll have a special guardian angel with her on race day.Nichole lives in Utah with her husband Jason and their 5 young and very active kids, ages 15-5. She loves living close to the mountains and her favorite runs are down the canyon breathing in that fresh mountain air.
