Board of Directors

The Marathon Kids board is made up of passionate leaders and runners who believe in the
power of movement to transform lives. Each member brings a unique story — and a shared commitment to helping every kid find joy in running.

MARY RICE-BOOTHE, ED.D.

Mary is the Founder of Leading-Within, LLC, where she supports education leaders by strengthening contextual intelligence, developing practical tools, and advancing best practices through research and writing. She also founded THINK360 Academy, a microschool created to meet the needs of neurodivergent students. A lifelong educator who found long distance running later in life, Mary was drawn to the Marathon Kids board because it blends her two passions in a meaningful way.

She believes deeply in the physical, emotional, and mental benefits of movement and wants children to experience those impacts from a young age. Mary loves reading, especially memoirs and narrative nonfiction, and can often be found browsing her local library or favorite used bookstore. Her perfect run begins at sunrise along a waterfront boardwalk with a cool breeze, offering a moment of clarity before the day starts.

AMANDA LOPEZ

Amanda serves Texans as Senior Counsel for the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts, diving into complex research and crafting solutions that strengthen the agency’s impact. A Marathon Kid in her youth, Amanda joined the board to support a mission that shaped her own relationship with movement. She loves dancing, cooking with loud music, and finding joy in everyday moments.

As a long distance runner, Amanda sees running as a journey of mental strength and personal growth. She shares miles with her dog Rosie, who brings infectious energy and a big grin to their runs around Lady Bird Lake. Her NYC Marathon experience remains unforgettable, especially the moment a volunteer recognized her Marathon Kids hat and shared that they also participated in the program as a child.

As the most recent CEO of Marathon Kids, she joined the board to continue supporting the mission and the next generation of leadership.

Cami is an enthusiastic pickleball player who appreciates how accessible the sport is for people of all ages. She loves running for the freedom it offers, the simplicity of stepping outside the door, and the sense of confidence she regained when she returned to racing as an adult. Running helps her unwind, unplug, and reconnect with movement in a meaningful way.

He first encountered Marathon Kids more than twenty years ago and witnessed its impact through the eyes of a parent who credited the program with changing her son’s life. That moment inspired him to stay connected as a volunteer, fundraiser, partner, and now board member.

Chris has produced three podcasts with more than one million combined downloads. He loves the authenticity of group runs, especially during long marathon training sessions where real conversations unfold and community grows mile by mile.

With forty four years of running experience, Ian joined the Marathon Kids board to give back to the sport that has shaped his life. He loves that Marathon Kids offers a fun, trackable, coach supported way for kids to fall in love with running. When he is not training or racing, you will find him gardening, cooking, or traveling. For Ian, running is both a challenge and a grounding force, helping him navigate life’s curveballs with focus and resilience.

Carly has taught yoga for more than four years and works with over one hundred students each week, bringing joy, presence, and community to her classes. A passionate marathoner, she has completed the New York City Marathon three times with her fourth on the calendar. For Carly, the NYC course feels like a homecoming, filled with friends, family, and memories from her time living in New York.
