Profiles on the entire team are being rolled out over "Walker Wednesdays."

In the meantime, get to know the members of Music City Spirit through their 3-Day Profiles, accessible by clicking here!


Lauren Rickels is very excited about doing her first 3-Day this year! She has a bachelor’s degree in psychology and sociology from the University of Tennessee. She and Ryan have been married for 7 years and are parents to 2 boys, Zach (3) and Austin (1).  Lauren is currently staying home with her boys and loving it! She has a double stroller that allows her to take the boys on training walks. Zach even gets out and runs beside her sometimes!  She is a Pampered Chef Consultant and loves scuba diving, traveling and sports.

Lauren is a Georgia native, and she's counting on her friends and family to come out and cheer her through those 60 miles!  Visit Lauren's 3-Day page by clicking here!


Kendall Crosslin is doing her first 3-Day this year! She has a bachelor's degree from Western Kentucky University and Master's from Middle Tennessee State University. She is currently working as a substitute teacher in the Franklin Special School district. Kendall also teaches 2nd & 3rd grade Sunday School at Hillcrest United Methodist Church, and loves football and Zumba. This April Kendall ran her 3rd Country Music Half Marathon, and her 4th Half Marathon overall!  She did great ~ she is going to SMOKE these training walks!
