Brooks Professional Runner Gabe Grunewald shares her battle with cancer while demonstrating her grace, grit and determination.

*Update 6/12/2019*

In 2010, we had the honor of signing one of the most vibrant young talents on the track: a senior from the University of Minnesota named Gabriele (“Anderson”) Grunewald . For almost a decade, we watched Gabe compete at the highest levels around the world, winning a U.S. title and crushing 1500m and 3000m races. In 2014, she took home the gold in the 3000m at the U.S. Indoor Track & Field Championships; her smile crossing the finish line is what we’ll remember most from that race.

Off the track, Gabe was fighting a rare and aggressive form of cancer: adenoid cystic carcinoma. She would compete during her remission periods, never missing a beat, with her husband and training partner Justin by her side. Through running and life, Gabe inspired all of us with her tenacity and ever-positive attitude. On 6/11/2019 Gabe lost her battle with cancer. She spent her final moments surrounded by family receiving love and messages from people around the world. The entire Brooks family is heartbroken, and our condolences go out to her family, friends and everyone she touched with her story. Gabe, your light will forever guide us. In everything we do, we’ll always strive to be #BraveLikeGabe.
