Trey Rowe is a founder of the Measly Mile Mafia, a running community that began with a simple challenge among friends in St. Joseph, Missouri: run at least one mile every single day. What started small has grown into a community of hundreds of runners built around consistency, accountability and the belief that doing something difficult gets a whole lot easier when you don’t do it alone. Along the way, the Mafia helped put St. Joseph on the map as a hub for streak running, with the city earning recognition for having one of the highest concentrations of daily run streakers anywhere.
