An Evening with author Kate Santoro
Join us for an evening with marathon runner and author Kate Santoro on her memoir, Truth On The Run. The program will include an interview with the author, audience Q+A, and book signing.
About Truth On The Run
Over 28,083 miles, Santoro has circled the Earth on foot-through marathons, misadventures, and moments that nearly broke her. But this isn't a book about how to run a marathon. It's about what happens when life becomes one.
'Truth on the Run' is a raw, funny, gut-punch of a memoir that chases down truth through heartbreak, motherhood, wildfires, near-death accidents, and the finish line of the Boston Marathon bombing. From East Coast roots to West Coast upheaval, Kate's journey is laced with grit, grief, resilience, and unexpected grace.
With sharp humor and searing honesty, she invites you into a story not about winning-but about enduring. About showing up breathless, blistered, and stripped to the core-and still choosing to move forward.
Whether you're navigating loss, rebuilding after disaster, or just trying to remember where you left your joy, 'Truth on the Run' will remind you that the run doesn't save you. You save yourself. One gritty, grace-filled step at a time.
