Robert's Run

About Our Ambassadors

Each year, we aim to inspire participants at Robert’s Run by featuring a professional runner who embodies the spirit of possibility and determination. Our ambassadors share their journeys in running and life during a special presentation on the Friday evening before the race, followed by a Q&A session. They are available for photos and conversations both Friday evening and on race day Saturday. Our ambassadors participate in Robert’s Run, usually completing the one-mile race alongside our community.

Robert's Run is excited to announce our 2025 race ambassador:

Keira D'Amato

Currently, she claims the second fastest time by an American in the half marathon (1:06:39) and the marathon (2:19:12). She also owns the American record in the 10 mile distance at 51:23.
