Summer Confuorto, a Gros Ventre, Cree, Mi’kmaq woman, tells
the story of running her first marathon: the 2025 Boston Marathon, representing the Ohketeau Cultural Center Natives Run Initiative.
Summer tells her story, from running along the water during her youth in her hometown of Falmouth, MA; to how running connects her to her own and also the local native communities; and then about her first marathon, the 2025 Boston Marathon.
For Summer, running this marathon was about so much more than
completing 26.2 miles. For starters, it’s a reclaiming and reconnecting with
this space: like many major routes all across this land, the Boston Marathon
course largely follows pathways that have been traveled by native people going back hundreds of years. And there's more. Hear the whole story on the podcast.
