TRACK 58: Kat Doherty // Broadway to Boston to Kilimanjaro

May 14, 2026 · 59 min · Ep 58

This week on The Allie G Show, I’m joined by Kat Doherty - journalist, marathoner, and adventurer - for a conversation about the power of community, resilience, and finding joy in the journey.


From performing in the original Broadway cast of Mary Poppins to qualifying for and running the Boston Marathon alongside her dad, Kat shares how running became so much more than a sport. We also dive into the highs and lows of marathon training, what she’s learned through tough race-day setbacks, and the unforgettable experience of hiking Mount Kilimanjaro on her honeymoon.
