locallyrun is dedicated to supporting local runners, race director,races, and the local community. locallyrun is based out of Western Massachusetts. Our goal is to unite the western mass running community. We want to create a place where runners in the area can find out all the information they need –race calendar, race photo galleries, race results, calculators, articles- without having to visit multiple sites. We do it because we love running, we want to support local runners, and because it’s fun!

Who are we?

Alejandro Paredes:  I am originally from Guatemala but now I live here in Western Mass. I’ve been running for about 10 years. The last 2 years I have had a back injury but I’m slowly getting back in to running!  I enjoy really challenging runs, whether they are on track or up in the mountains, the more difficult the better. I look forward to running some of the local races here in Western Mass and my long term goal is to run the Boston Marathon. 

Annie Paredes: I grew up in Western Mass and ran a lot as a kid but while playing soccer. I realize now that I wasn’t good at soccer but just getting up and down the field faster than most of the other kids!  I started running competitively about 6 years ago when I met my husband Alejandro Paredes. My favorite runs are long runs, the hardest long run I’ve ever done was up the side of a volcano in Guatemala, amazing views but crazy switchbacks.
