The New York City Marathon, one of the world’s premier running events, continues to draw athletes from across the globe, including a growing contingent from Saint Lucia. Among them is Ava Fevrier, a 41-year-old social work supervisor and mother, who has emerged as a trailblazer for her nation. Fevrier, who set a Saint Lucian national record earlier this year, is now on the verge of earning the prestigious Six Star Medal, awarded to runners who complete all six World Marathon Majors. Alongside her compatriot Che Odlum-de Vivenot, Fevrier is inspiring a new generation of Saint Lucian athletes.
