/
Anne-Marie Madden is a Vancouver based trail and road runner. She trains as hard as she works, and the proof is in the races. She recently came 2nd at the Northface 50 Mile Championship and 1st place at the Squamish 23km. In 2018 when the Northface Championship was cancelled she was able to shift gears last minute and run an Olympic qualifying time for a road marathon at 2:42:18. She finds that being outside keeps her happy and helps balance the more hectic and stressful aspects of work life. She is humble, down to earth, and offers great advice that everyone from experts to beginners can benefit from.

Rae 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.
