Joe Stacy
My name is Joe Stacy. I grew up on Cape Cod, Massachusetts, but life has taken me across the country to Orange County, California. I have been in the fitness industry for more than 11 years. Fitness and sobriety have been the two dominant factors in my life. I teach group fitness with 50-60 people in each class, and I get to connect with so many incredible people. I’ve been training for marathons and Hyrox for the last two years, and I couldn’t be more excited to return home and take on my first Boston Marathon this April for Herren Project.
In 2019, when I had nowhere else to turn, Herren Project helped me get the treatment I needed. In a few short years and a whole lot of hard work, my life quickly turned around as I relocated to Southern California. I turned to running to help me stay uncomfortable, taking on my first full marathon in 2022. I qualified for Boston in 2023 and am aiming for a big PR. My hope is to inspire people to see that sobriety isn’t just about refraining from using a substance. it’s all about continuous growth and searching and working to wards your full potential. Join me in raising funds for Herren Project, an organization dedicated to providing resources for individuals and families affected by addiction.
