Mak Foss

“Running has taught me how to fail.”

In this episode, I sit down with Mak Foss, a passionate runner from Grand Rapids who has been running for just three years but has already made a profound impact in her community. Through the ups and downs of her own journey, Mak has developed a deep understanding of how running communities can become inclusive spaces where people lift each other up.

As the leader of Society Track Club, Mak fosters a spirit of joy and pride in the process of becoming better—both on and off the track. She’s created a welcoming space for runners of all abilities, helping them unlock their potential and become the best versions of themselves.
