Coaches

Gibson Kelley

Gibson has been running for….well, ever. A former D1 Track & Field athlete, she’s no stranger to competition. After college, Gibson found herself missing the sport and competition and began running. It started with a few local 5ks, then rapidly progressed into half and full marathons. In 2020, Gibson dipped her toe into the ultra scene and hasn’t looked back. She genuinely loves the sport and her passion for helping others makes her an unparalleled asset in your corner. If you’re looking for someone to push you, challenge you and encourage you, this is your girl!

When she’s not training, Gibson loves to read and spend time being creative with her twin daughters - crocheting, knitting, painting, beading…
