About Us
We're the Stride Sisters! From left to right, it's Hannah and Natalie. We're college friends and sorority sisters who have found a love of runDisney. As previous swimmers and lifeguards, we've made the leap from sea to land, just like Ariel.
Hannah is our engineer behind the podcast, both literally and figuratively since she got us together and is a literal engineer at her 9 to 5. She's also a travel agent and can help you plan the perfect adventure.
Natalie is the true OG; she's been running the longest, and she has roped in countless people to join her on this journey. She's even completed multiple Dopeys and the Coast to Coast Challenge!
