Tera Moody, a long-time ElliptiGO rider, elite runner and Women’s 2022 ElliptiGO World Champion Winner, recently claimed victory at the Christie Clinic Illinois Marathon. While her win is a monumental achievement for this 44-year-old mother of two toddlers, it comes as no surprise to those who have followed her remarkable journey of perseverance, grit, and passion for running.
What makes this victory even more special isn’t just the race itself, but the incredible story behind it. As The News-Gazette reported, Tera’s week leading up to the race was filled with challenges, she was planning to run the Carmel Marathon. She spent months training for this marathon however the event got canceled due to thunderstorms.
Tera pushed through it all to secure the win in a race she described as “grateful” and “hard-fought.” Her triumph, both in the marathon and in life, is a testament to her resilience and determination, inspiring countless individuals along the way.
In 2019, Tera was honored with ElliptiGO’s Authentic & Inspiring Award, not only for her athletic achievements but for her commitment to living authentically and uplifting others. That year, she also made a lasting impact by donating ten ElliptiGO bikes to individuals who would benefit from this life-changing product. We called it Bow on the GO, where friends and loved ones nominated people to receive an ElliptiGO 8C. With over 1,000 nominations and 7,000 votes, picking just ten wasn’t easy. Tera’s generosity transformed many lives.
Tera’s story proves that it’s never too late to achieve big things! Tera, you are an inspiration to all of us to keep GOing, anything is possible!
