“I’ve been around the running community most of my life and my entire career,” said Felix. “Having the opportunity to be the keynote speaker at The Running Event is a surreal feeling, and I’m excited to share my story on how I found my voice, am attempting to build a business in a different way, and why community is what it’s all about.”
