ABOUT

Hi, I’m Marina, but most people know me as the Marathon Princess—the girl who’s a little too obsessed with collecting medals, crossing finish lines, and proving that you can be both fierce and feminine in the world of endurance sports.

​

I’ve run 67 marathons (and counting!), conquered two Ironmans, and tested my limits in some of the world’s most iconic races. From the streets of Berlin to the lava fields of Kona, I’ve experienced it all—whether it’s sweating it out in beast mode or crossing finish lines in full glam. And trust me, I’ve loved every blister, every medal, and every moment.

​

Along the way, I realized that running isn’t just about the race—it’s about the memories we collect. That’s why I created "Maps by M". It’s my way of capturing the journey, the hard work, and the epic stories behind every marathon. With each map, I’m celebrating the races that have shaped me—and helping others do the same. These marathon maps are a way to commemorate the highs, the lows, and everything in between that makes running so rewarding.

​

For me, running isn’t just a hobby—it’s a lifestyle. I’ve built a community of 100K+ incredible followers who inspire me as much as I hope to inspire them. Together, we’re redefining what it means to be a runner, showing that strength and style can go hand in hand.

​

Running has taken me across the globe, but the journey is far from over. Whether it’s another marathon, another Ironman, or just another map to add to the collection, I’m always looking forward to the next adventure.
