RC Spotlight - How the whole Leyva family caught the running bug with Arthur, Christine, Flint, and Aristotle

Published: April 24, 2024, 6:52 a.m.

This month\u2019s RC spotlight features an entire family of runners. Arthur and Christine Leyva are so passionate about the sport that they got a local coach to officiate their wedding and now have two kids, Flint and Artistotle, who have caught the running bug as well. They train together and support each other in pursuing some pretty lofty goals including getting into the Boston Marathon Weekend. You\u2019ll hear all about it from them, including what they love about running and how it has brought them closer as a family.

Arthur and Christine first met through a local running group in Austin, Texas when at the time, Arthur was just starting to get into the sport. Since then, they\u2019ve gradually become more obsessed with improving their times, and now the whole family shares that common goal. They are incredibly encouraging but also aren\u2019t shy about a little healthy competition that makes their story even more fun. During the show, we\u2019ll cover fun stories from their family that include:

  • How Arthur and Christine first met through their mutual love of running
  • How running has helped to bring them closer as a family
  • What lessons Arthur and Christine have learned from their running that they are passing on to their kids
  • What running goals each member of the Leyva family is working towards
  • And you\u2019ll hear their answer to who is the most competitive person in the family

You\u2019re going to love hearing from this family of runners, so let\u2019s get into it!
