Howdy! My name is Justin Kinner, born and raised in Casper, Wyoming!
I've learned so much over the course of running and racing, and I want to share my knowledge with you to help you succeed! My favorite playgrounds are the mountains and wild places of Wyoming in all seasons. I live and breathe to share the methods I've discovered in the endurance sports world, in an effort to help people become their own best version regardless of whatever stage in life they are in. I'm a lifelong, multi-sport athlete who has found so much fulfillment in the people I've been blessed to meet, and the lessons that endurance sports continue to teach me. Having competed in cross country skiing through college, and finding success in trail running, as well as triathlons, I'm well-aware of the hard work and sacrifices it takes to reach for new limits. My passion for endurance sports has guided me through many trail ultramarathons, including the Grand Slam of Ultra Running in 2021, 17 100-mile finishes as well as a Full Ironman triathlon.
The human body is an incredible vessel with unique limits, but also with so much potential. It is never lost on me how blessed I am to have a body that allows me to see so many beautiful places and to meet so many wonderful people as I seek new limits for myself.
