Feature Friday: Roz Kosacz
Meet Roz (she/her)! Roz is a returning ambassador from New Braunfels, TX, running the Dietz & Watson Philadelphia Half Marathon.
For Roz, running became a way of celebrating every victory after being diagnosed with ovarian cancer in 2022. She is returning to Philly this year to celebrate resilience and the community that makes Philadelphia Marathon Weekend so special.
In her own words: "I wanted to celebrate being stronger than cancer by running my first marathon at the 2023 Philadelphia Marathon. Now, four years into my cancer journey, I am still standing and taking on the Philly Half."
Follow Roz on her journey to race weekend on IG:
