Meet Speedy Spud Terri: A Vegan Runner, Hill Lover, and Lifelong Potato Fan

April 24, 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 Terri L., a central Pennsylvania runner who is no stranger to Pittsburgh’s hilly terrain. A vegan and lifelong potato lover, Terri enjoys mini potatoes that are boiled, smashed, and crisped in the air fryer — though she says post-race loaded fries are hard to beat.
