Kristen is a native Coloradan and longtime runner who enjoys running on the track, roads and now on the trails. When she isn’t running, she works as a trail content editor for Trail Run Project, where she now gets to spend her day dreaming about trails and adventuring—the perfect job since she can’t run 24/7. She is also known for being a bookworm and owning more running shoes than most people would consider socially acceptable. REI member since 2018.
