Still running

Avid runner and St. John’s School cross country coach Melanie Margolis (pictured in group) celebrated her 60th birthday with a fun run and brunch for friends and family. The Run Every Day 5-Year 5K event marked not only her milestone birthday but also the five-year anniversary of her commitment to run at least one mile each day, every single day. In 2020, Melanie was inspired by a pandemic-era daily running challenge in Runner’s World magazine. She began a running streak that continues today. The birthday festivities began at Stages Theater with a 5K fun run and walk, and then the group celebrated with a festive brunch.
