Marilou Tanguay

My name is Marilou, I’m 25 years old, and I started running during the pandemic, which makes me very unique (just kidding)!

I run because I enjoy it. Not for the time or to take on a challenge, but because it’s simple, and it feels good. I discovered the UTHC in 2021 while sharing the 65 km trails with my dad. Since then, it’s an appointment I never miss. Sometimes I run, sometimes I lend a hand to the medical team. No matter the role, it’s the energy there that always brings me back.

During the year, I also spend a lot of time running with young people through Étudiants dans la course. Seeing them push their limits, grow through running, that’s what really excites me, more than setting any PRs!

Aside from running, I work as a nurse at Sainte-Justine, I’m studying to become a pediatric nurse practitioner, I cook… and I eat a lot (a lot) of ice cream. Looking forward to crossing paths with you on the trails!
