As a participant in the US Anti-Doping Agency's Project Believe program, Felix is regularly tested to ensure that her body is free of performance-enhancing drugs. Felix sees her running ability as a gift from God, "My faith is the reason I run – it calms my heart and makes everything feel like a lift. My speed is definitely a gift from Him, and I run for His glory. Whatever I do, He allows me to do it."
