Katherine Maguire

Living Dead Runners is Katie’s answer to a running scene that felt bleak and flat. If you wanted to race for a cause, your options were mostly giant, corporate-style charities—with glossy branding, minimal transparency, and little connection to the communities we live in. So Katie built the opposite. Living Dead is a multi-charity, radically inclusive team for people who care about impact. We’re fast enough to compete, but we run for smaller, real causes that matter to us—causes rooted in our neighborhoods, our histories, and our healing. Every mile is a message: we’re still here, and we’re not done.

Katie is a multimedia artist, strategist, and educator who builds creative tech that actually sticks—story-driven motion work, immersive lessons, and visuals that move people. With a background in Design and Technology, she connects the dots between art, education, and social action. She teaches, runs, builds systems, and believes in using creative work to pry open the stuck places—with a little beauty, a little humor, and just enough chaos.
