Where grit meets the great outdoors 

Tough as Trails was built from a life of obstacles, setbacks, and refusing to stay down. Growing up through my parents’ divorce, navigating breakups, and being told at a young age that I might never walk properly, running became my way of proving what’s possible when you don’t give up. Every trail, every climb, every race was a reminder that limits aren’t fixed. Tough as Trails exists because I wanted to take that same belief and turn it into something bigger: a community of people who choose challenge, choose growth, and choose to back themselves even when life says they shouldn’t. Our races are tough, honest, and transformative — built for anyone ready to find out what they’re truly capable of.
