Allison Powell's Running Gear & Expert Recommendations
Ultrarunning Coach, Ultrarunning Communnity Leader
Mountain West, USAMake it Happen
I started running around 2013 and quickly fell in love with it as a way to reconnect with my body, work through difficult emotions, and just have fun outside! My first race in 2018 was the Bizz Johnson 50k. The bug quickly took hold, and I’ve raced 50-mile, 100k, 100-mile, and 200+ miles! With a love of sharing knowledge and a hunger to inspire more women to get on the trails, I'm excited to share the gear I trust to help me on these adventures!
