Alicia is not running for gold, but she could if she wanted to.
Alicia finds comfort and relative discomfort blazing through the forest of the west coast and beyond. She runs with reckless abandon for costumes (brought on by an early figure skating career), reindeer games, grueling uphills, yam fries, planning her start-up, micro-breweries, testing her limits and to simply be able to say “yes” where others might say “no way”. She's currently expecting her first kiddo real soon!

Read MoreTara is a Vancouver based runner with a love for bacon, beer, and the occasional mountain run in a banana or taco costume. She’s run 40 ultra-races including the classics like UTMB and Fat Dog, and she’s earned a spot on the podium at many races across the Pacific Northwest. More than races, Tara’s main reason for trail running is for the adventure and exploring beautiful mountains. She has completed longer self-supported adventure runs, and has set some female fastest known times on some of the most rugged routes around the Coast Mountains with her friend Alicia.
Read MoreRae ran her first mile 6 weeks after she had her son Maverick. She found it a major struggle, but something clicked and she set the goal to run 10km before her son turned one. That came and went, and pretty soon she had the goal of running 50miles. After quite some time of trying unsuccessfully to get pregnant with baby number two, she decided to sign up for a race. Two weeks later, she found out she was pregnant. With her midwives approval, she set out to run her first 50miler at 18 weeks pregnant.
