Join us for this year’s Queen City Marathon speaker talk, "Right Foot, Left Foot, You’re Doing Great" with Mandy Currie. Mandy is the 2026 winner of the Women’s Hikuri 81K Race and, most recently, became 2x Women's Champion of the 118K Solo Ultra Canadian Death Race, shaving 37 minutes off her 2023 winning time! From the flat, paved roads of Saskatchewan to an 81-kilometre race through the mountainous jungle of Mexico AND a 118km race over 3 mountain summits and a major river crossing in Alberta, Mandy Currie’s running journey has taken her farther than she ever imagined. Join us as the Saskatoon runner shares how running has shaped her confidence, resilience, career, and connection to community. Mandy will reflect on her recent first-place finish in the Hikuri 81K, which qualified her for the prestigious Ultra-Trail du Mont-Blanc final in France, as well as the role running played as she supported her sister through a 10½-year cancer journey and learned to carry both grief and joy. This talk is about running—but it is also about grit, healing, mindset, and the simple power of putting one foot in front of the other when life asks us to carry heavy things. Mandy Currie is a wife, mother of two, Pediatric Intensive Care Unit nurse, runner, Salomon Run Ambassador, and artist—not always in that order. Since discovering distance running in 2010, Mandy has used the sport to build resilience, confidence, and connection. Running has carried her through challenges and grief, introduced her to a strong community, and taken her to places she never imagined. Not long after she began running, she discovered the trails and immediately felt at home. As she puts it, she has prairie blood but a mountain heart. “I don’t believe I’ve found my limit yet—and I’m still searching for it.” *Those who live outside of Regina and do not have a Regina Public Library card, can email cep-shared@reginalibrary.ca to be registered for the event. Presented in partnership with Run Regina | GMS Queen City Marathon.
