Athlete Spotlight – Mayala and Jelliz Brown

This mother-daughter duo is bringing double the energy to the RUNColumbus Race Series in 2025! Malaya is joining for her first season, while Jelliz is back for her third.

Malaya started running two years ago at the Run for More Birthdays race with her mom and has since joined Grasshoppers with CRC. Jelliz has been running for four years and loves the supportive community that makes every race feel like a reunion. Both love the 5K distanceโ€”and Malaya is looking forward to some friendly competition with her mom!

Their 2025 goals?
๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ Malaya: Run a race every month and beat Mom in a race!
๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ Jelliz: Run a 5K every month and hopefully join the 100 Mile Club!

Letโ€™s cheer on Malaya and Jelliz as they make memories, chase goals, and inspire us all!
