Diya Patel
From Beginner to Scholarship Athlete
Diya started out running 5Ks with the Beer World Run Team. With encouragement, coaching, and consistent training, she went on to:
Break school records
Qualify for state championships
Earn a college running scholarship
Her journey reflects what happens when talent meets community support. Watching her transformation was as rewarding to me as crossing any Ironman finish line.

Community & Foundation Impact

Allyson Whitney Foundation
I’m proud to assist in leading a team of 100+ runners each year with the Allyson Whitney Foundation. Together we participate in races ranging from local 5Ks to World Marathon Majors, raising both funds and awareness for young adults battling rare cancers. In 2026, the Allyson Whitney Foundation 5K will return — a powerful community event built on hope, strength, and purpose.

Achilles International
Working with Achilles International is one of the most meaningful parts of my journey.I will be guiding a blind veteran in 2025 NYC Marathon, proving that limitations don’t define possibility. In 2025, I’ll guide a blind veteran in the NYC Marathon, an honor that reflects why I believe endurance sports can truly change lives.

Catskill Run Club
The Catskill Run Club has become a second family for me. We welcome runners of all ages, speeds, and abilities, making endurance sports accessible and fun for everyone. Love being a part of to mentor, motivate, and celebrate every milestone — from first-time walkers building confidence to seasoned athletes chasing new personal bests. Together, we’ve created a supportive community that continues to grow stronger.

Team Ultra
Through Team Ultra, I connect with a global community of endurance athletes who thrive on pushing limits and sharing inspiration. Training and racing alongside this network keeps me motivated, accountable, and energized by the shared LETSGO mindset. From local events to world stages, Team Ultra reminds me that the endurance lifestyle unites us all, no matter where we’re from.
