Competitor bio:

Juan Uro, born and raised in Argentina, has called New York City home for over 20 years. As a seasoned partner at Ernst & Young, he collaborates with C-suite leaders and boards on top-management topics. Although Juan began running later in life, he has become a dedicated runner who embodies resilience and passion. His journey as a runner started a couple of decades ago, and he has since completed several marathons, including his favorite race, the NYC marathon, which he has run over 10 times. For Juan, running is more than just a hobby; it is a way to connect with his inner self, find clarity, and maintain a healthy work-life balance. His early morning runs through the bustling streets of New York City or the serene trails of Central Park provide moments of solitude and reflection, fueling his day with energy and focus. Marathons hold a special significance for Juan as they allow him to connect with his son, Bauti, who passed away in 2010. Crossing the finish line is always a celebration shared with his wife, Mariela, and his daughter, Isabella. Juan's running journey serves as a reminder that with passion and perseverance, we can strive to achieve our personal best in every aspect of our lives.
