About Tracey
Tracey is the Director of Retail for a nationally recognized retail operation at Congressional Country Club, a private golf & country club in Bethesda Md. She is very involved in the Association of Golf Merchandisers, often being asked to speak on panels pertaining to golf retail and has lead the Congressional Golf Shop to be named AGM’s Platinum Award and Best of the Best consecutively in her last year 8 years there, featuring globally recognized retail operations.
When not at work, Tracey spends her time with her husband Dustin, a golf professional, and their two four-legged children, Birdie and Stearnsy, who run the house with a firm paw. They love traveling and playing golf together all over the country.
Tracey’s relationship with running was, for most of her life, strictly casual. She dabbled in “fun runs” like 5Ks with friends, the yearly Turkey Trot to justify an extra slice of pumpkin pie, or the occasional treadmill session during Orange Theory workouts. But in 2020, things changed. Working from home for a short period of time and with gyms closed and stress levels high, Tracey turned to running as a way to cope with the chaos of the pandemic. What started as a means of therapy quickly morphed into a surprising love—and a personal challenge.
Approaching her 40th birthday, Tracey decided to train for her first marathon. She joined a local running group, laced up her sneakers, and crossed the finish line of the Philadelphia Marathon in November 2021. And just like that, she was hooked. She soon learned about the World Marathon Majors—Berlin, Tokyo, London, NYC, Chicago, and Boston—and set a bold goal: to conquer all six before turning 50.
Since then, Tracey has knocked out Berlin, Chicago, and NYC, making her a bona fide marathon maniac. Now, she’s gearing up for the 2025 Boston Marathon. But this time, it’s about more than just the miles—Tracey is running to raise funds for the South Asian Circle of Hopkinton (SACH), combining her passion for running with her commitment to making a difference—one step, one race, and one goal at a time.
