About this listen

In this episode of the Route 66 Marathon Podcast, host Kevin Green chats with Sonnie Simons — ambassador for Route 66 Marathon and Tulsa run — about her journey from hesitant runner to sub-4 marathoner, all while balancing college life and a future in law school.

Sonnie opens up about the injury that sidelined her in early 2024, what it taught her about rest and resilience and how running became her outlet during emotionally heavy seasons, like saying goodbye to undergrad and preparing for what’s next.

She also shares her love for Tulsa’s running scene, her involvement in building a collegiate run club at OSU and why she believes anyone can fall in love with running if they give it a chance.

Follow Sonnie on Instagram at @sonnielolo, and use her ambassador codes sonnie10 (Tulsa Run) and sonnie66 (Route 66) to save $10 on both races.
