My team
Welcome to my 2026 ASICS Falmouth Road Race Page!
We are lacing up our sneakers for the Falmouth Road Race, and I couldn’t be more excited to be back - running with purpose alongside the National Brain Tumor Society. This race isn’t just a race for me. It’s something deeply personal.
In 2019, my world changed when I lost my dad to glioblastoma. He was the strongest, most incredible person I’ve ever known. Not a day goes by that I don’t miss him, think of him, or wish he were here cheering me on like he always did.
But this year feels different in the best way. Team Gillespie has grown.
Running beside me are Madison, Amanda, Julia, Kevin, and Andi—each of us showing up with full hearts and a shared purpose. I’m beyond lucky that my cousins and my soon to be sister-in-law chose to join me in honoring the best and strongest guy we know. To all of us, he’s our reason.
Every step we take is for him - his strength, his love, and the legacy he left behind.
So when race day comes, it won’t just be about crossing the finish line. It’ll be about honoring him, together.
