Meet Coach Naseeemah Palmer a Philadelphia native. This mama of three found her way back to herself through running during one of her most tender seasons. After the birth of her baby girl, she was battling postpartum depression and needed an outlet that let her feel without forcing the process. Running became that space where emotions could move, release, and make sense. What started as survival turned into a deep love for the journey. Now, she helps others tap into running as more than just fitness but a tool for healing, clarity, and coming home to yourself, one mile at a time.

Meet Coach Shelly Jones born & raised in Philadelphia who's been running for 10+ years. Her running journey began when a co-worker introduced her Black Girls Run. Through BGR, she learned how to transition from walk to run & quickly developed a love for the sport. Since then, she has completed numerous races: 5Ks, 10Ks, 10-milers (her fav!), half marathons & marathons. In 2020, she became a RRCA Certified Run Coach, which allows her to share her knowledge & passion for running with others. Her goal is to inspire & teach people in her community, especially those who never imagined themselves as runners, how to run. She believes that when someone accomplishes something they once thought was impossible, it opens the door to believing they can achieve so much more in other areas of their lives.

Join us race weekend where you can meet local Game Changers coaches in person during your Girls on the Run 5k! We'll also have a PWRHER'D tent and will be celebrating you all morning long in person on race day!
