Celebrity Fitness Trainer and Transformative Health and Wellness Coach Patrice J. White says she was nearly abducted while doing her regular morning run one day this week as she began training for two marathons.

She took to her social media platform and detailed the ‘near abduction’ – and said she was running during the usual hours for runners. The fitness coach was doing so with her running mates but as she ran ahead, a car kept driving behind her.

White noted that she began screaming and shouting as she ran away from the man, eventually, she saw the car reverse and the man re-entered the vehicle which subsequently drove off.

Following the incident, she has been silent on social media as she expressed that her daughter has asked her to stop running but for her, that would be difficult as running has kept her away from many things.

For the former mixologist, this was an eye-opening reality for her as she encouraged all runners to be safe and protect themselves.
