Together, We Shall
Episode 63 | "The Marines are coming'...everything will be fine." Space/Air Force Marathon Director Jill Huffman
Mar 18, 2026
The episode blends heart, humor, and practical wisdom — a perfect representation of the Together We Shall spirit.
Angel Ally and Disability Inclusion Advocate Jill Huffman, Race Director for the Space Force 10 Miler and Deputy Director for the Air Force Marathon, join us for a conversation ranging from humorous banter to deeply meaningful reflections on accessibility in racing, logistics planning, the military community, grief, and the power of running for others.
Jill shares how she brought Ainsley’s Angels to the Air Force Marathon, what race directors need from ambassadors to ensure accessibility, and why “special treatment” is really just equitable support. Her heartfelt personal story of loss and how “the Marines are coming” became her grounding mantra.
