Mandy Currie: Right Foot, Left Foot, You’re Doing Great
Description
Join us for this year’s Queen City Marathon speaker talk with Mandy Currie, winner of the women’s Hikuri 81K race.Additional Information
From the paved roads of Saskatchewan to an 81-kilometre race through the mountains and jungle of Mexico, Mandy Currie’s running journey has taken her farther than she ever imagined. Join us on September 9 as the Saskatoon runner shares how running has shaped her confidence, resilience, career, and connection to community. Mandy will reflect on her recent first-place finish in the Hikuri 81K, which qualified her for the prestigious Ultra-Trail du Mont-Blanc final in France, as well as the role running played as she supported her sister through a 10½-year cancer journey and learned to carry both grief and joy.
This talk is about running—but it is also about grit, healing, mindset, and the simple power of putting one foot in front of the other when life asks us to carry heavy things.
Presented in partnership with Run Regina | GMS Queen City Marathon
Mandy Currie is a wife, mother of two, Pediatric Intensive Care Unit nurse, runner, Salomon Run Ambassador, and artist—not always in that order.
Since discovering distance running in 2010, Mandy has used the sport to build resilience, confidence, and connection. Running has carried her through challenges and grief, introduced her to a strong community, and taken her to places she never imagined. Not long after she began running, she discovered the trails and immediately felt at home. As she puts it, she has prairie blood but a mountain heart.
“I don’t believe I’ve found my limit yet—and I’m still searching for it.”
