  Jenn Shelton

  Though known as a trail ultrarunner, Jenn likes to take the sense of adventure she draws from ultrarunning and apply it to all running — from big mountains to road races. She loves to push her body, finding beauty in the experience of picking up the pace. She currently lives in a poorly insulated house with piles of old running shoes.
