Since 2012, Yolanda Stevens has traveled the world to fuel her passion for running. The Orlando, Florida native has completed 15 marathons, 30 half marathons, 1 Ironman 70.3 and countless 5k’s, 10k’s and triathlons.

While most of us are out of breath just reading all that she has accomplished in the last 7 years, Yolanda Stevens is also set to complete all of the Abbott World Majors by early 2020. She has completed 5 of the 6 international races necessary for the feat and will finish out in Tokyo.

Most recently, she and her running group took on the London Marathon while exuding true Black girl magic.

We spoke with Yolanda to learn more about her love for running and to see how she will top what she has already done.

Travel Noire:Where has been your favorite race to date? Why? 

Yolanda: To date, the London Marathon has been my favorite! I absolutely loved the city and the people there. The architecture and history were amazing. At Mile 20 of the race, we crossed over the iconic Tower Bridge and concluded the race down The Mall (street), lined with British flags, with Buckingham Palace as our backdrop. It was magical. The New York Marathon runs a close second.
