HBCU STEM Education Run is proud to announce that CEO Danielle Lewis was featured as a panelist during race weekend for the iconic Peachtree Road Race (PRR). Recognized as the world’s largest 10K, the annual Atlanta tradition welcomes over 50,000 runners from across the country and around the world, celebrating fitness, community, and the transformative power of running.

The Women Runners Panel hosted by adidas Runners was a highlight of the Publix Health and Fitness Expo. The panel was moderated by Linda Aguirre and featured distinguished marathoners Tori Hood , LaCrisha Burton Saba , and Danielle Lewis. The discussion explored each woman’s running journey, sources of inspiration, and how the lessons learned through running extend into everyday life and leadership. Although Lewis is a six-time marathoner finisher, the 57th running of the PRR on America’s 250th Anniversary marked her first 10K.

When asked “What does strength look like for you both on and off the pavement?” she responded:

“Strength is pushing limits. Running pushes me to do my best and I see the growth overtime. I remember a time when I couldn’t run 6 miles straight and now to be able to run 26 miles straight, it’s an amazing feeling. Off the pavement, strength was stepping out of my comfort zone to start my company, HBCU STEM Education Run.”

Since graduating from the Oakwood University and The University of Alabama in Huntsville Dual Degree Engineering Program debt-free, she has always advocated the importance of scholarships. In 2021, she founded HBCU STEM Education Run where she continues to demonstrate how endurance, courage, and service can inspire healthier communities while expanding opportunities in STEM education.

Excited to share that I'll be a panelist on the adidas Runners Women's Panel heading into the Peachtree Road Race!

As a 6-time marathon finisher, I'm looking forward to sharing my journey, lessons learned, and encouraging more women to discover what they're capable of.
