Michael Reese

Discipline: Mountain Running® Team

ABOUT ME:

Raised in Boulder and Louisville in the shadow of rocky mountains, I was lucky enough to get to see the flatirons glowing every day. With a background in competitive athletics such as running and triathlon, as well as a passion for nature and a degree in biology, geology, and anthropology, mountain athletics is a natural convergence. I think mountains are the ultimate combination of pushing your limits and appreciating the natural world.
