Kelli Tanghe is a grizzled running veteran with over eight years of marathons and ultramarathons under her belt, including two trips to Boston. For almost a decade, her loving husband Michael has bought donuts post-run and humored her obsession with an ice-cold Diet Coke after a good 20 miler. A mother to three children, Kelli has run over mountain, land and bridge with her eldest, Lindsay, age 26, her middle, Nick, age 24 and now her youngest, Arianna, age 14. She's also a die hard New York Yankees fan.

Arianna Tanghe is the little miss that wouldn't take no for an answer. Born into a family of athletes, she longed to hit the road with her mom like her older siblings. Diagnosed with cerebral palsy and legally blind, Ari has let no challenge stop her. She's overcome the odds to walk, talk and lead a full, enriching life. There's only one thing more she'd really like to do: meet her favorite singer, Katy Perry!

Michael Tanghe is The Captain. Need a driver to a race? Captain's on it. Need a super navigator? Yep, we got him. Need "The Best Crewman of All Time"? Yes, that's him. He even wakes up at 4 a.m. sometimes to get Team Ari where they need to be. Best part of all? He is Team Ari. Without him, we wouldn't race! |
