I have been running since high school, and trail/ultrarunning since 2012. Here in Minnesota, we host some amazing ultra races up north on the Superior Hiking Trail; we have learned to embrace the spring snow! I also love to write, and have done some articles in UR about MN races at Superior, Afton, and Zumbro (speaking of blizzards). I am the "other" Amy Clark, aka Not the Editor, at the magazine. :) Outside of running in beautiful places, my passions are my three children, cats, books, art, NPR, coffee, and peanut butter. So stoked to be an ambassador for this incredible publication, and getting to know all of my fellow adventure-seekers.

I'm a New England-based garden designer and ultrarunner who enjoys connecting with people through a shared love of the trails. I look for adventure in unexpected places, and believe that the best runs tell a good story.

I'm a breast cancer warrior who loves Jesus, my family, and outdoor adventures! I enjoy trail running, ultra running, triathlons, hiking, backpacking, tennis, and occasionally rock climbing or surfing.

I live in Montana where the trails are so beautiful to run! 2024 races: Canyons 100 k Trailfest 50k Tsalteshi Backyard Ultra Moab 240 Can't wait to share these experiences with you all Happy running!

I currently live in Fort Collins, Colorado where I'm a researcher at Colorado State University. I have been trail and ultra running for five years and love the trail community. I enjoy long, mountainous trail races and spending time in the alpine. Outside of ultra running I love to mountain bike, ski, and kayak.

Charlie here from Houston, Texas! This is my fifth year on the team and I'm super pumped to represent URM again for 2024. Trail running has become a way of life for me ever since I took the plunge about 7 years ago . I'm super blessed to be apart of such a wonderfully rich and loving community of runners. Hope to meet you all on the trails real soon and I wish you all the best for the coming year!!

I am an ultra runner, UESCA certified running coach and outdoor enthusiast from Tempe, AZ. I have been racing for 25+ years and so far have completed 75 ultras ranging from 50k to 250 miles.

I ran my first ultra in 2010 at the Chicago Lakefront 50/50 race, and became the co-RD for the race in 2018. I have now run 65 ultras since that time, including two Western States finishes (plus almost 30 marathons) and love sharing my experiences and knowledge with just about anyone who will listen to me.

Blessed to have been raised at the heartbeat of the sport in Auburn, Ca. Currently in Arizona, trying to be the best version of me and hoping that example shines through.

Finding the "awesome" in every day and on every trail I can. I'm a Dad, a PA, a harmonica player and singer in a band. I feel most at home in the woods or on top of a mountain.

Hi! I am located near Houston in Cypress, TX and run trails with the Cypress Wolfpack. I started running Ultras during the 2020 pandemic and now I am on my way to WSER in June as The Active Joe sponsor athlete! I am excited to meet more of ya'll!

My name is Kelsey and my pronouns are she/her. I’m a proud member of the Navajo Nation and I currently live in SE Oklahoma on the Choctaw Nation Reservation. I ran my first ultra in 2022 and I have 3 scheduled for this year! I love the challenge of ultras and seeing beautiful places, but more importantly, I want to make a difference in the running community. Runners like Jordan Marie Brings Three White Horses Daniel inspired me to use my running as a form of advocacy. So I have used running to bring awareness to issues that affect Indigenous communities. Running with a purpose is more important to me now because I am an auntie and I want a better world for my little loves.

I live in Charlotte, North Carolina and I absolutely love this sport. I love the challenge and opportunities it provides. I’ve run several 100s, 24-48 hour & 6 day races. I can’t wait to continue to grow and achieve more in this sport.

I delight in road, trail, and track ultramarathons equally, but my heart will always belong to long slow days in the mountains.
