My Favorite Place to Run:
The San Juan mountains in Colorado.

I hope to inspire other women over 30 to continue pursuing big, personal goals, and to show up on start lines authentically.
More about Colleen:
I am a UESCA-certified ultrarunning coach working under Rising Mountains Coaching, and trail ultrarunner specializing in the 100-mile distance. I work full time in communications and web design, live in Denver, and love baking homemade croissants, bread, and treats from scratch. Fresh-picked Ohio strawberries are my favorite food.
Why Ultrarunners Face a Higher Risk of Skin Cancer and Decreased Running Performance
With the rise of multi-day ultras, runners are logging serious sun exposure—not just on race day, but during training too. Without proper protection, they're at greater risk for UV damage.
