Page Lester

A native Washingtonian, Page Lester essentially ran straight out of the womb. Her first race was an 800m race that she completed at age 2, in 5 minutes. She last ran the Alexandria Turkey Trot in 2013, at age 14, when she beat her mom for the first time! 

Page went on to run for National Cathedral School here in DC, and then at Princeton University. After a long break from running upon graduation from college in 2023, Page trained for and ran her first marathon in April 2025. 

Professionally, Page is in the process of applying to PA school and works as a medical assistant for an internal medicine practice in DC. 

She is excited to smash her 12-year-old 5 mile PR on November 27!
