East Coast raised and West Coast trained, Melissa is now retired from racing ultras but still holds a deep love for long miles and time on trail. She’s currently doing what she can to delay a hip replacement, at least until completing a full lap around the earth, which she expects to hit in 2026.
Based on the Southern California coast, she now enjoys slower, easier miles, stroller runs, and time in the gym focusing on strength training. (And still sneaks in some spicy running when she can)
