3 Bros Running Company

2025 Ambassadors

2025 Brand Ambassadors

The 3 Bros ambassadors were chosen for their passion, dedication, and commitment to the running community. They embody everything we stand for at 3 Bros Running Company. We believe that everyone—regardless of race, gender, age, or pace—can be our third bro. Running is for everyone, and together, we make the community stronger.

Alex Ferguson I’ve been running on and off for years, but recently rediscovered my stride after joining the Orange Texas Run Club. After completing several local 5Ks, I’m now actively training for my first half marathon this season. Running reminds me to stay grateful for what my body can achieve and connects me to an uplifting community. I’m thrilled to represent 3 Bros and share that energy with everyone on course!	Michael Swanson I started running in my 30s to get into shape, and it quickly turned into an enduring passion across roads and trails. Over the years, I’ve completed races spanning from 1 mile to 100K ultras. My wife, Jennifer, and I document our adventures with our toddlers on YouTube (@motivatedbymedals). My goal is helping athletes of all paces embrace the grind, laugh through the pain, and celebrate every hard-earned finish line.
Norma Vazquez My running journey began in 2017 after crossing my first 5K finish line, and I haven't looked back since. Today, my résumé includes numerous half marathons, 5 marathons, and a sprint duathlon. I train regularly with my Pasadena-Texas Runners Club family as I prepare for my upcoming 50K ultra. I have so many big milestones ahead and cannot wait to tackle them alongside the 3 Bros community!	Jonathan Whitaker I started running in February 2016 after quitting smoking in July 2015. With my wife’s encouragement and the C25K app, I went from barely running to completing my first 5K. Since then, I've run 8 marathons, 23 half marathons, and paced three half marathons this past year. Running has brought me closer to my family and built lifelong friendships. I'm excited to continue this journey with 3 Bros!
Jay Dubrow Howdy, I’m Jay—your friendly neighborhood runner! I laced up my shoes in 2022 to find freedom and haven't stopped moving since. Having completed 3 half marathons, I’m currently focused on training for my first full marathon and ultramarathon. When I’m not training with Pasadena-Texas Runners Club or Urban Locos, I’m volunteering at the Houston Zoo. I can't wait to cheer you on through the streets of Texas!	Chris Heisner I started running back in 2015 to focus on my fitness and clear my mind. After moving to Beaumont, joining the Golden Triangle Strutters introduced me to trail running and an incredible, tight-knit network of athletes. I've conquered everything from local 5Ks and 5 marathons up to grueling 100-mile endurance runs. This season, I’m focusing on dialing in my half marathon speed and supporting runners across the series!
Elisabeth Bowman As a mom of three active kids, I took up running in 2022 after being invited to train for a half marathon. I was immediately hooked by the community, eventually completing two full marathons, 10 half marathons, and pursuing my goal to race in all 50 states. I love encouraging runners to step outside their comfort zone, and I’m proud to inspire everyday athletes as a 3 Bros ambassador!	Magen Giddens I began my running journey 10 years ago right on the bridge series and never slowed down. Today, I’m an active triathlete, mountain biker, and ultrarunner sharing my love for fitness with my daughter. When I’m not training with the Pasadena Texas Runners Club and Alvin Running Club, you can find me outdoors with my dogs. I can’t wait to bring big energy and cheer everyone across the finish lines!
Lauren Stroud Based in Lake Jackson, Texas, I have been a devoted runner for nearly 20 years across all distances and terrains. Running brings me pure joy, mental clarity, and strength, and I love nothing more than sharing that enthusiasm with fellow athletes. Whether tackling short road races or long training miles, I’m thrilled to represent 3 Bros Running and celebrate each runner’s unique goals and personal achievements.	John Nguyen I started running in 2010 to prioritize my personal health and ran my first half marathon at Seabrook shortly after. That milestone got me completely hooked, leading to 9 marathons and countless half marathons since. Giving back is essential to me, whether that means volunteering at race water stops or organizing weekend group runs. I’m honored to be an ambassador and support the incredible 3 Bros running community!
Hayden Lightfoot My fitness transformation started in April 2021 by running just a quarter-mile at a time. Through patience and consistency, I learned to pace myself, shed 75 pounds, and fell in love with long-distance running. Having now completed 10 full marathons, my best advice to runners is simple: slow down, trust the process, and enjoy every mile. I’m proud to represent 3 Bros and motivate runners on their path!	Weijiang Tang Running has been my anchor for nearly two decades, but in 2022 I committed to reversing health complications, losing 45 pounds in the process. Since then, I’ve qualified for the Boston Marathon and completed a 100-mile ultra on trails. Running has fundamentally transformed my life and mindset. As a 3 Bros ambassador, I’m excited to show every runner that dedication can turn impossible barriers into finished races!
