Patty McElroy

Meet Our Athletes

Please say hello to one of our awesome athletes, Patty McElroy!

With her kind heart and genuine concern for those around her, Patty is the mom of our group. She is always quick to greet newcomers- making them feel welcomed, and the first to check on her fellow teammates- making sure they’re doing alright.

Throughout the years, Patty has had the opportunity to participate in multiple activities, ranging from half marathons to triathlons and is always excited to share her wealth of knowledge and experiences with her fellow teammates. One accomplishment she proudly credits to running is her confidence in knowing that she can do whatever she puts her mind to; she also works to instill that same confidence in those around her.

Patty is a perfect example of running for the enjoyment of the sport. While she’s not a big fan of races (or those race day jitters), she does enjoy the training aspect and is always happy to join others as they run their training mileage… often while snacking on her Cliff Blocks, if she remembers them!

If you ask Patty where she’d run, if she could run anywhere, she’d tell you it would be a trail someplace out west like Montana (because who knows, maybe she’d run into Kevin Costner ). Down the road, she would like to run a Disney half marathon with her friends the year she turns 70.

For now, Patty has her sights set on joining her friends in running the half marathon at Sacket’s Harbor this year.
