Donna Senty’s running journey started with a few miles here and there, but one unexpected turn changed everything. Donna ran occasionally from 2015–2019 and even joined in when her kids were in high school, but running was never a major part of her life. Then, during a race in October 2024, a simple mistake turned into a life-changing moment—Donna accidentally turned right instead of left and ended up running a half marathon instead of a 10K. That unexpected extra distance sparked a new goal: running all 50 states. Since then, Donna has embraced every opportunity to explore the running world. A friend introduced her to trail running in 2026, opening the door to a whole new type of adventure. Timberline became her 16th state, and with Hawaii next on the list, her journey is far from over. She’s also taken on incredible challenges like the 30K at Antelope Canyon. For Donna, running is about much more than race medals and finish lines. It’s her happy place—a way to stay physically and mentally strong while exploring new places and creating unforgettable memories. What started as an accidental wrong turn became a path toward adventure, discovery, and a goal to run across all 50 states.
