Ambassador Profile

Hillary Allen

Hillary Allen is a professional ultra runner, scientist, and coach known for her resilience and grit in the sport of trail and mountain running.

Nicknamed the “Hillygoat” for her strength on steep terrain, she was among the top mountain runners in the world before a life-altering accident in 2017, when she fell 150 feet during a race in Norway. Despite severe injuries, including multiple fractures, she defied the odds with an incredible recovery, returning to elite competition.

Hillary now shares her journey through coaching, public speaking, and her book Out and Back, inspiring athletes to embrace setbacks as opportunities for growth.
