Shea Aquilano's Trail Running Gear & Expert Recommendations
ACG Professional Trail Runner
Boulder, ColoradoIf you don't try you'll never know
Hi! I'm a professional trail and ultrarunner based in Boulder. I grew up in Indiana playing competitive soccer before discovering running and eventually falling in love with trails and ultra racing. Since then, I’ve competed at some of the sport’s most competitive races, earning podium finishes and course records, including a win and previous course record at the Gorge Waterfalls 100K and representing team USA twice at the World Mountain and Trail Running championships. I’m passionate about exploring the limits of endurance performance and sharing both the highs and lows that come with chasing big goals in this sport. Outside of racing, I’m interested in neuroscience, helping grow trail running for women and youth athletes, and going on adventures followed by a lil sweet treat :)
