Who We Are

Grace To The Finish was started by Joey Metzger (long time Minneapolis, MN resident) and Neeraj Egbert (US citizen, KY resident and immigrant) in the hopes of raising support and awareness amongst our beloved trail running community.

The running and trail running community has long been a supporter of anti-discrimination and promoting that love is universal, no matter where you are from and what your circumstances are.

This is a safe place, where we look out for one another.

Meet some of the members of our community who are supporting the Grace To The Finish campaign, and hear what they are saying…
