I enjoy the sport of running due to the community and wonderful people I have met either at races or in local run groups! I have run several races but, and I may be biased, Rock 'n' Roll DC is by far my favorite race to run due to the tremendous atmosphere, crowd support, the staff, and not to mention being able to run by the nation's most iconic monuments! Did I mention the after party and awesome on course entertainment!? Follow me on Instagram at @coach_brian_v

Katie Lusso- Ambassador
My name is a Katie Lusso and I’m a reporter with WUSA9 in D.C.. When I’m not out running around with a microphone and camera you can catch me hanging with my dog Lola or lacing up to run around the DMV - alone or with the Endorphins fam! I ran my first marathon in NYC in 2022, and my next will be in 2025! However, before then I’ll be running my 3rd and 4th Rock N’ Roll half marathons - and I can’t wait!! Follow me on IG @KatieLusso

Paula Hernandez- Ambassador
Hi, I’m Paula, a Colombian international student trying to balance my MBA with my passion for coffee and running. For me, learning a new language has been tough, but the truth is that when I'm running, none of that matters. It is all about finding the right people with the same passion: a good run followed by a nice cup of coffee. I am so excited about this!
Regina Parks- Ambassador
Hi! I'm Regina, a mom of four boys who started my running journey at Rock 'n' Roll DC back in 2013, at 6 months postpartum with my first son, caught the running bug and never looked back.
