Cal Calamia

Marathoner + Inclusivity Activist + Poet

Cal (they/he) is a lifelong runner, health educator, poet, and sports inclusivity activist. They are transmasculine and have not always found their place in athletics, so they have mobilized to advocate for a running community that celebrates all runners. This summer, Cal became the first non-binary winner of Bay to Breakers and the San Francisco Marathon. Up next? More time outside, more miles, and more sports representation beyond the binary.

But, thanks to a complete lifestyle overhaul that helped her lose 200 lbs, Callie discovered a newfound love for running, and all the places it allows her to explore. Now, she uses her story and experience to inspire others to chase their dreams, big or small, believing that running truly belongs to everyone.
