Meet Speedy Spud Christine: Cave Diver and Hometown Hero

April 15, 2026

On May 3, 26 Speedy Spuds in full costume are headed to the Pittsburgh Marathon for the biggest potato moment in racing history. This week, meet Christine T., a runner and cave diver from Florida who’s returning to her hometown of Pittsburgh — the site of her very first race — to take on the full marathon. She’ll be fueling every mile with her go-to potatoes, from breakfast home fries to her all-time favorite, bacon cheddar pierogi.
