Today, Hillary Allen, an American professional ultra runner and endurance athlete sponsored by The North Face. Hillary Allen began trail running while studying for her Ph.D. in science but shortly after competing—and winning. She quickly went on to become an accomplished high-altitude trail runner. In 2017, Allen was ranked one of the top runners in the world when she suffered a near-fatal accident while competing in the Hamperroken Skyrace in Tromso, Norway.  She is the author of Out and Back: A Runner's Story of Survival Against All Odds. Click on the link to purchase this book. I highly recommend it. 

“Resilience is an invitation to struggle.  To take on the challenge by learning from the setback and not letting it define you.”  - Hillary Allen.
