Meet The Athlete | BILLIE DIVER

Billie Diver of Grand Forks, ND loves to bike and run and currently ran her first half marathon in Fargo, ND this past May. She is currently enrolled in the College of Nursing at the University of North Dakota and has two years left. In addition to biking and running, Billie enjoys rollerblading and spending a lot of time with her dogs. A big hobby of hers is dogsledding.

Although she hasn’t done many races, Billie has been biking for about 5 years. She started biking because she enjoys being outside and biking is the perfect way to enjoy the outdoors while exercising. The fact that both biking and running are great stress relievers and fun to do is a great added benefit. Some of Billie’s favorite runs are just south of Duluth, the Soo line trail and the Willard Munger Trail.

Billie has always had a fascination with Africa. She used to “adopt” a child through a program in Africa and helped support him and his family. When he finally grew up and didn’t need her help anymore, she has been looking for a way to help out ever since. Here she is now advocating for Race4Equality and hoping to help the children at Bright Hope School. Billie feels that the goodness her faith has put into her heart will push her to raise as much money as she can.

The Fitger’s Brewhouse Triathlon is in it’s 24th year and takes place on Pike Lake at the AAA Pike Lake Golf Club and beach just north of Duluth, Minnesota. The Brewhouse Triathlon is the perfect race for beginners and experienced triathletes because the water is calm and boat free and the bike and run courses are smooth and scenic. Moreover, the triathlon is rated as one of the highest quality races in the Midwest.
