Participant Spotlight: Hairbows & Miles

Meet Lauren and Harper from Las Vegas, Nevada—a mother-daughter duo inspiring runners one mile at a time.

Originally from Menasha, Wisconsin, Harper discovered her love of running while in elementary school. She was eager to join her school’s running club but missed the age requirement by just one grade. After the family relocated to Nevada, Lauren searched for a way to help Harper continue pursuing her passion.

Fast forward two years, and they’ve accomplished something incredible together. Harper has completed one marathon, multiple half marathons, and countless miles alongside her mom.

Their shared love of running inspired the creation of Hairbows & Miles, where their signature matching race outfits, colorful hair bows, and positive attitude have built a growing social media community.

This year they’re coming home to Wisconsin to run the Community First Fox Cities Marathon, and we’re excited to partner with them on a video series documenting their training journey.

Follow Lauren and Harper as they prepare for race weekend.
