Emily Keddie is an ultra runner, mountain athlete and former Pacific Crest Trail thru hiker, who resides on the West Coast of the United States. She runs outside to explore mountains, volcanoes, trails, as well as to experience views, the freedom of exploration, and to build and lean into her strength, independence, self-sufficiency and empowerment. Having moved between road, trail and ultra racing throughout the years, she has varied her training to focus on speed, endurance or adventure running. Most recently, Emily completed the FKT of the Oregon Volcanic Skyline Route, adding to her more than 30 other FKTs set since 2020, mostly unsupported.
