Sister Stephanie Baliga... The Chicago Nun with a 2:53 Marathon PB


At first glance, it's hard to imagine that this is the same person. Sister Stephanie Baliga is a nun in Chicago and is obviously a very talented runner. She has a marathon personal best time of 2h 53m 49s!

As the video below outlines, she has taken a vow of poverty so she runs in shoes that people have bought for her and in 'modest clothing'. She is even considering trying for the 2024 Olympic Marathon Trials!
