I often ask guests on the Ali on the Run Show to share their snapshot moment after a big race or event. When you think about the day, what’s the image that pops into your head?

I have a few key memories from SeaWheeze 2026. I get to work a lot of races, but this weekend, this half marathon, was something super special.

I was honored and absolutely delighted to get to be this year’s start and finish line emcee alongside codyrigsby. We had the best view of all the action, and there was so much magic out there.

The moment that stands out was at the start line. Typically, start lines are clusters of nervous energy. Especially at the very front of the pack, the runners are quiet, they’re trying to stay warm, they’re in their own heads.

So it genuinely blew my mind when, with two minutes to go, I looked out at the field of 10,000 runners, and I swear to you, they (you) were all dancing. The runners with their toes on the line — including philybowden, who went on to win the women’s race — were jumping up and down, having an all-out dance party with each other. I have never witnessed such a FUN start line. It felt like a sea of friendship. I almost didn’t want the race to begin, because I didn’t want that part to end. (Unsurprisingly, the party continued to the finish, and well beyond.)

THANK YOU, lululemon, for having me, for giving me a mic, and for letting me be a part of this experience.

I am heading home from Vancouver feeling changed for the better, grateful as always for the “work” I get to do, and psyched to get to check some big things off my bucket list.

Sea you in 2027!
