Adam’s Highlights
From road marathons to ultrarunning stardom: Adam’s journey began with that drenched 50 K in 2014 and evolved into FKTs on the Tahoe Rim Trail and a self-supported coast-to-coast run across the U.S.
Up Coming Races: Gearing up for Badwater 135 in July and Cocodona 250 in May.
Life beyond miles: Coaching, race directing, motivational speaking, family man, and ardent advocate for community inclusion.
Motivational Takeaways
Push your perceived limits: Adam’s mantra—he’s always chasing what his body and mind can do next.
Balance through priorities: Reveals how he stays centered as a pro athlete, dad to two young kids, and pillar of his trail community.
Adventure as purpose: Travels with his family, steered by curiosity and shared exploration.
Community & Conservation
Race director and coach: Deeply involved with Donner Party Mountain Runners and official pacer for the California International Marathon since 2019.
Adventure Scientists California Biodiversity Project: Adam is empowering trail runners, hikers, and bikers to gather soil and insect data statewide. Participants can join teams, compete, and contribute real-world science.
