More Than Miles
This Is Our Story
We're Melissa and Grace, a mom and daughter building something meaningful through running and creativity.
Running has always been at the center of our relationship. Melissa has spent over 20 years training for and running marathons, while Grace grew up watching, learning, and eventually finding her own love for the sport through Girls on the Run and now high school cross country and track.
Running has taught us both the same thing: what you tell yourself in the hard moments matters just as much as the training that got you there.
A Bracelet Born on the Starting Line
It started with one bracelet. Grace made it for Melissa before the London Marathon as something simple to wear and come back to when the miles got heavy. She loved it. So did everyone who saw it.
From there, Grace started making them for friends, family, and teammates. Each one carried a word or phrase meant to travel with the person wearing it at the start line, through the hard miles, across the finish.
We didn't expect how much those small words would mean to people. That's when Running With Grace became something real. Today, we create pieces for runners to wear during races. Each bracelet is designed to hold a message you can return to when it matters most.

Bring it to Your Race
We partner with races to give every runner something they'll wear long after they cross the finish line. A mantra bracelet, made with intention, built for the moment.
-
Find Your Mantra
Whether you're lining up for your first race or your fiftieth, there's a bracelet made for exactly where you are right now.

Every Bracelet Gives Back
A portion of every purchase supports Girls on the Run Greater Boston, a program that's personal to us. Your bracelet helps more girls find their stride, their confidence, and their starting line.
Handmade by girls who get it
Our bracelets are still made by hand, often with Grace's teammates around the table, each one crafted with intention behind every bead and every word. What started in our kitchen has grown into something that carries meaning well beyond it.
Our hope is that when you put on a Running With Grace bracelet, it feels like it was made for you and the exact moment you're in, whether that's the nerves before a start line, the struggle through the middle miles, or the feeling of crossing a finish you worked hard to reach.
When we're not making bracelets or dreaming up new mantras, you'll find us out on a run, at the beach, on a ski mountain, or somewhere chasing the next starting line together.
